This video will walk you through the steps on how to drop a class, drop multiple classes and how to add a class. Before adding or dropping a class, check the Academic Calendar to make sure you are able to complete this task. If you are unfamiliar with the Maysville Community and Technical College Academic Calendar, we suggest you view the video on how to view the Academic Calendar which can be accessed from the Student Service webpage.
From the Maysville Community and Technical College home webpage, you will select Student Self-service from the top right-hand menu as highlighted here. This is done by placing your cursor over the heading Student Self-service and selecting it using your mouse. This will now take you to the KCTCS Campus Solutions home webpage. You will notice in the center of your screen there are two boxes for you to type in. The first box asks you to enter your username. This was issued to you by Maysville Community and Technical College when you were admitted to the college. Our student’s name is John Student and he is typing in jstudent0001 as his username. Once he’s entered this, he presses the tab key to move onto the next field. Here he’s being asked to type in his password. He will then type in his password. He’s using the same password he created when he activated his KCTCS email account. Then you can either press the enter key on your keyboard or move your cursor to the sign-in box and click on it using your mouse. If you forget your username or your password, move your cursor to the sentence below the sign-in box where it asks you if you forgot your username or password. Select it using your mouse. You will then be taken to another website that will assist you in locating your name and/or user password.
You are now taken to the Student Center. The first item you want to look at and confirm is does the Student Center display your name at the top? In this case it should display John’s Student Center at the top of the screen. If the name that appears at the top of the screen is not yours, please contact Student Services. Their contact information can be found at the end of this video.
First let’s take a look on how to drop a class. Select drop a class from the menu at the upper left-hand side of your screen by moving your cursor over the heading drop a class and selecting it using your mouse as highlighted here. Next, select a semester you want to drop a class from. In this case, John has chosen spring of 2010. This is done by selecting the radio button next to the semester you’d like to drop a class from and then selecting it using your mouse.
Next press continue by moving your cursor to the continue button and selecting it using your mouse. You will then need to select the classes you will want to drop. In John’s case he wants to drop a course entitled “Selected Tools in Management.” This is done by placing his cursor over the box in front of the class name and selecting it using his mouse. Move your cursor to the box entitled drop selected courses by moving your cursor to the box at the bottom of your screen and selecting it using your mouse as highlighted here. This will take you to the next screen where you will select finish dropping by placing your cursor over the finish dropping button located at the bottom of your screen and selecting it using your mouse as highlighted here. The class is not completely dropped until this occurs. You will then get a message that the class has been successfully dropped and a green checkmark next to the class indicating the class has been dropped as highlighted here. Select my class schedule. You will then be taken to the class schedule where you will want to review your schedule to make sure the class has actually been dropped.
Let’s continue looking at how to drop multiple classes at the same time. This is typically done if you are dropping all of your courses. Select drop a class tab from the menu located at the upper left-hand side of your screen by moving your cursor over the heading drop a class and select it using your mouse as highlighted here. Next, select the semester you want to drop a class from and in this case, John has chosen spring of 2010. This is done by selecting the radio button next to the semester you would like to drop the class from and selecting it using your mouse. Next, select the continue box by moving your cursor to the continue button and select it using your mouse as highlighted here. This will now take you to the menu that will allow you to select the classes you would like to drop. Instead of selecting one class as presented earlier in this video on how to drop one class, you will need to select all the classes you will want to drop by checking them off in the box located under select title. This is done by placing your cursor over the box located in front of the class you would like to drop and then select it using your mouse as highlighted here. Next, select the drop selected courses button located at the bottom of the screen by placing your cursor on the box and selecting it using your mouse as highlighted here. This will take you to the next screen where you will select the finish dropping button by placing your cursor on the box labeled finish dropping located towards the bottom of your screen and selecting it using your cursor. The classes are not completely dropped until this occurs and you have taken this step. You will then get a message that classes have been successfully dropped and a green checkmark next to the class indicating that a class has been dropped. Make sure all classes have the green checkmark. If they do not, you have not officially been dropped from all your classes and you will need to repeat the previous steps until all classes have been dropped. Select the my class schedule tab and select it using your mouse. You will then be taken to your class schedule where you will want to review your schedule to make sure that all classes have been dropped as been shown here.
Now let’s look at how to add a class online. For the purpose of this part of the video, you’ve already logged into your Student Self-service. Let’s start where we left off at the my class schedule and self-service enrollment. From the my class schedule, select add tab located at the top of your screen. We are now taken to the add class main webpage. Select from the drop down menu to either search for classes or to browse the catalog under the question adding a class using one of the following. We are selecting to browse the catalog. Then press search by moving your cursor to the search button and selecting it using your mouse as highlighted here. Select the first letter of the course you would like to search for. In this case we are selecting “m” for math classes by moving our cursor to the “m” and selecting on it using our mouse. Next you will need to select the specific course discipline. In this case we are choosing math for mathematic classes. It now displays all the mathematical classes that are available for you to choose from. John is looking for Math 121 which is math for elementary education. Next you’ll need to select which selection you would like to sign up for by moving your cursor to the view class selections and clicking on it using your mouse. Under actions select view class schedule by clicking on it using you mouse. It now displays all the classes available. Make sure you check the date and time and where the class is located. You wouldn’t want to add a class in Jefferson if you live in Mason County unless it’s an online course or ITV course. John has decided he would like to take the course so he is going to click on select class by placing his mouse on the select class button and clicking on it using his mouse. You will now see more information about the class. To continue, click on next by moving your cursor to the next button and clicking on it. You will get a confirmation message at the top saying it has now been added. You can select either add another class or click to proceed to the step 2 or 3 tab by moving your cursor to the step 2 or 3 tab and selecting it using your mouse as highlighted here. Confirm this is the class you want and then finalize adding the class by clicking finish enrolling button by placing your mouse on it and selecting it using your mouse. You’ve now added the class to your schedule. Select the my schedule tab by moving your mouse to the my schedule tab and selecting it using your mouse. Using your mouse, scroll down on my class schedule to make sure the class has been added.
