Having trouble passing this ticket
i would appreciate any help
Maybe I’m missing a step

I got this email for a task I submitted. Does it mean anything or is this a normal occurrence for all WGU students?

Happy May (basically May already) to all the new, existing, and former WGU students. We would like to take the opportunity to plug two Discord communities for your WGU (pre-, current, and post-) educational journey. Whether you're currently enrolled, recently joined, or exploring WGU as a potential student, this is the perfect opportunity to get involved and connect with others walking the same path as you!

Unofficial WGU Discord

The Unofficial WGU Discord has over 15,000 members and averages 3,000+ messages per week. We have a large FAQ channel, a ton of resources to help with PA/OAs, as well as a dedicated military/veteran community. We have channels and support for all 4 Colleges at WGU (Health, Education, Information Technology, and Business) with quite a lot of engagement by current students and alumni.

It's free to join and a good complement to reddit for information and resources related to WGU, so why not check it out?

WGU CS Discord

If you happen to be a Computer Science or Software Engineering Major at WGU, there is a more focused Discord server that is highly recommend. The WGU CS Discord has over 5,000 members with dedicated channels for each course in the programs and highly focused discussions relevant to CS and SE students and alumni. It is ALSO free, so check it out too if you are interested in CS/SE.

Ok, but really why should I bother with either Discord server?

• Support for Degree Programs: Each server has multiple resources and forms of help. Each server has a plethora of FAQs, general/Major/career discussion channels, individual course focused threads, and even places to discuss hobbies. This is the perfect space for participants to connect, collaborate, and share valuable resources.

• Organization: Both servers have taken a unique approach to organizing the servers it to make it easier for you to navigate and find the resources and discussions relevant to your studies.

• Rich Resource Pool: Our communities are filled with valuable resources, notes, and helpful insights shared by fellow students who've walked the path you're on.

• Master Resource Sheets: A huge resource hub of guides, videos, and tips exists for both servers.

• A more interactive chat experience: Unlike reddit or Facebook groups, Discord is an interactive chat platform. You are far more likely to have running discussions and conversations on Discord than either reddit or Facebook.

  • NOTE: You will get out of the chat experience what you put in. Just remember that the people on the other side of the chat have lives and responsibilities. Please be patient if you don't get an immediate response to something you post.

How Can I Contribute?

• Share Your Wisdom: If you've found a resource or strategy that's been particularly helpful, share it with the community!

• Engage in Discussions: Your insights and experiences can be invaluable to others. Don't hesitate to join the conversation!

• Ask Questions: Stuck on something? Ask away! There's no such thing as a silly question and you might just be surprised how many others have had the same issue/question.

  • NOTE: You are expected to have done at least some basic research/searching for your question/issue. Additionally, you will get far more responses if you ask a specific question with details and then are patient for an answer. People are more likely to answer verbose questions than something generic.
