  1. Open Administration → Settings → General. Choose language, timezone and date format; the preview updates immediately. Student portal sign-in identity decides whether new learner accounts use the learner's personal email or an institution-issued address.
  2. Open Appearance. Choose Light, Dark or System; pick a Brand Color; turn on Reduced Motion if you want it; choose Small, Medium or Large font and Save Changes.
  3. Open Notifications. Toggle email, push and marketing notifications; expect Notification preference saved. Test sends a test message; push delivery also needs the browser's notification permission, which the page does not request just because it was opened.
NoteDisplay settings are per browser. Notification preferences are stored on your account.
