Academy Central Support Thread! Go to thread for academy questions
Hi everyone! I hope you are doing well. It is common to have questions regarding your academy program journey.

Here is how to get support!
Respond to this thread with your question(s) and the program you are enrolled in. Remember, more information is better than less information. Provide context where needed so you can get speedy answers.
Who can respond to the questions?
Academy mentors, graduates, and even trainees if they are sure of the answer! Feel free to support each other and provide tips!
Make sure to keep an eye on your notifications so you can check the thread for answers. You can expect an answer within 24-30 hours.

~ In order to get the 'Ray of Hope' badge, which member-based group chats should I be attending the most?
~ With being active within 25 forum posts, does the forum topic or response have to be all in different topics, or can it be multiple replies to the same ones?
~ To whom should I be asking to double check that I am reaching my 1-on-1 support conversation quota?
@HavenonEarth
1. Any member group chats! As long as it is a member group chat, you are good. Even participation in the academy hub room counts as a member group chat
2. It can be the same topic!
3. You can check yourself. You only need to know the 1-1 chat number you started with. Subtract that from the current number and divide by two! Then you can divide what you have with the number of weeks of your program duration (extensions don't count in the weeks) and you can see if you are meeting the minimum per week
@HavenonEarth
Please mention your program if you wish to know your 1-1 chat number that you started with
@Hope
I am on the student track for 13 weeks. I don't remember the number of chats I started with at this point, prior to commencing this internship. :/
Hi Guys, hope you are well.
I read somewhere on the site about Peer training - but can’t seem to locate it again.
I would be most interested to know what it is and what it involves (view to possibly doing it) if it’s do-able for me?
Thanks
Rosie 🌹
@RainbowRosie
Hey Rosie, I think you're referring to this post which seems to be removed now (can't help but wonder why lol, it was a great post explaining all about it).
Anyway, so peer trainings are found in the trainings section, like all the other trainings available to us, *however* these only appear if a listener has marked some topic(s) as their "lived experience" in their settings (like the ones that show up with a little star in our categories listed under our profile), I see you have marked some topics with a lived experience already and therefore, I think you should be able to see the trainings on the page I shared above (unless something else changed here as well).
Completing all 12 of these trainings will give you the "peer pro" badge.
Another post that explains a bit about it Here.

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask, if anything! ❤
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
This is great, many thanks 😀
Thankyou @Hope and @RainbowRosie Anytime. ❤
So...just double checking.
I checked that formula just now, 676 - 563 = 113
113 divided by 2 equals 56 chats and a half.
So, if one chat is roughly 30 messages all up, one conversation ended at around 15 conversations.
I am meant to do 7 hours worth of 1-on-1 chatting per week for my internship...which is roughly 14 chats per week?
@Hope
Hi , I am currently doing my 7 cups Internship program and for that I require to do the community building course and for which I started yesterday and filled my first quiz but I used my mail registered with the member account because it's official account for everything else. So l am worried if that would cause any problem for me? Will I need the quiz again?
@lonelymay
I'm sorry it's taken a bit longer to get a reply to you. I didn't respond earlier because I'm not sure whether you should contact a mentor or @Hope about this one, so I went ahead and linked you to both. I will say not to stop. Keep pushing ahead on the other quizzes/sections, so you don't fall behind.
@Hope
Hi, I want to know where is the progress path?
Same, what do we have to do to get 6th progress path completed? they asked me to post it on the certain thread by hope but nothing has seemed to work yet
@FlowerySea
Have you tried selecting the "try something else" option?
Sometimes there's the recurring steps and other times the path just getting stuck due to glitches.
Somethings you can try are:
♡ Selecting "try something else" on the same path
♡ Trying a different growth path here- https://www.7cups.com/path/modifier/community/
♡ Submitting a tech-support ticket, if you find the glitch persisting, here/ unable to move forward- https://help.7cups.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
I hope either of this helps. ❤
I got an email but there is no message that i can click on to accept the request
@shonali22
There isn't a link or anything like that to click on. Just hit the reply button and say you accept. Thank you for joining the Academy program. I hope you have a wonderful experience! Please post again if I haven't answered your question, or you have another one to ask.
@Hope Do we have to count our people helped chats or the chats section in our profile? If it is the chat section, should we minus the listener-listener chats?
Can you please let me know my GLDD end date.
@yourbuddy30
It depends on the program you are in!
In GLDD, you will count only the member or listener group chats based on which track you opted for. You will subtract your initial Listener group chats (You had 1 at the start) from your existing group chats and divide the number by two.
Your end date is 09/26/2022
@Hope Thank you!!

Hi everyone! I am currently an intern in the student track and I have a question about electives. I'd like to eventually have a new position for honors as well as to continue to be active in the community once my internship is up. I'm really liking the idea of being a healthy habits/sharing circle host or a discussion leader. But I guess I'm wondering what the differences are between these roles and if there's somewhere I can get some more information on what each role entails. Also, as far as electives go... I'm trying to figure out what requirements I could fulfill- specifically numbers 1 through 4 on the student track 2022 requirements/electives sheet. I guess the key bit I'm unsure of is if doing those roles could help me work towards having more chats in either "listener chatrooms" or "member group chat room/chat support rooms" Also, I was wondering if there's any difference between electives 2 and 3? I see one is for 500 and one is for 1000 messages... but one is listed as "member group chat rooms" and the other is "member group support chat rooms"... Does this mean it has to be in the one titled support specifically? Thanks so much to anyone who responds :)
@glisteningnlistening
Hi! I am not sure if healthy habits is active at the moment. Sharing circle hosts lead sharing circles based on which sharing circle still needs a host. Discussion leader can host guided discussions on a variety of topics. You can contact asilentobserver for information on group roles.
As for electives, 1 and 2 seems doable for you if you like participating in group rooms. 3 and 4 can be a stretch if you find it challenging to get these chats. It all depends on how much group participation you are comfortable with and how much time you have left. For context at the moment you have at least 50 messages in listener and 50 in member groups.
As far as the role relation to group participation go, it is the other way around. The electives may help you get the role as you need group experience for most group roles. Leading pop-ups is a good way to get group experience.
Member group chat and support rooms mean the same thing. As long as participation is in a room that members can acces, it will count.
@Hope
Ok, thank you. That's really helpful :)
@Hope
Hi! I just finished my community intern track, the end date was 9/5/2022. Are there any forms I need to submit to show that I finished the track? Thank you so much for your help! :D
Hey @BlueDaisyZ, congrats on making it through. Yes, there's the final eval form I think that one needs to submit, before internship end date. You may have received it in your intern kit in the mail. Or can ofcourse reach out to an intern mentor for the same.❤
@BlueDaisyZ
Hello! You can find the final evaluation form for the Community Track right here. Congrats on completing the 7 Cups internship. 🏆
@Hope
Um, I'm never made a forum post before, how can I post one? I'm so confused and 7Cups is difficult to navigate to return to posts you've already interacted in besides for notifications. 😞
@HavenonEarth
Hey Haven, it can certainly be hard to navigate around the forumland, I think even with these posts you make, you're getting somewhere hehe, so that's good. We can ofcourse ask for more support where needed, glad you mentioned it here.
♡ Here is a great thread for anyone wanting to try dipping their feet in forums- Get To Know Our Forums Masterpost
