Getting Started
New to Discord? Before you do anything else, go here to make an account.
This is a quick start guide to get you ready to use the UD CIS Discord for your courses. There are more detailed instructions and documentation in the other pages, but this onr contains the basics.
Throughout this module, you can replace 000 with your course code. For example General Computer Science for Engineers
is CISC 106 so any 000 would become 106. An honors section of CISC 106 would become 106-H.
Getting Verified
Before you can start sending messages, you need to get verified. If you are reading this before the first day of classes, please wait patiently for our onboarding process to begin (typically the day before classes officially begin). Otherwise, you should have already received an email from Sage, the bot that manages our Discord server. If you have not, you can request one here. In that email you will find a link to our server and a unique hash code. Click the link to join the server and follow the instructions given in the #getting-verified channel. Once you have followed those instructions, you have officially been verified!
Enrolling in a course
When you verify, Sage may let you know that you've been automatically enrolled in a course. If you have been automatically enrolled, great! You can skip the rest of this section. If Sage didn't tell you that you were enrolled in a course, simply head over to #role_select and find your course(s) in the dropdown menu. Sage will enroll you into any course you select and you'll be given access to their course channels immediately. If you are taking more than one CISC class that is using Discord, don't worry, you can enroll in as many classes as you need.
Other Features
Some of the other key features of Sage are private/anonymous questions and question tagging. Documentation on both can be found at the links below:
