If Ask Elbee can't answer your question…
Sometimes, Ask Elbee can't answer your question. This may be because we haven't taught Ask Elbee the answers for that topic yet or your question is specific to your student record. If that happens, you'll be able to submit your question as an online inquiry for a staff member to respond to later.
