Instructor Instructions Update January 25, 2011

Created: February 3, 2010

Purpose

The purpose of the Online Class Add Module is for online students who are interested in adding online

courses. This process will eliminate the paper work steps required for an online student to add an

online course. Instructors will have the ability to easy approve or deny any student request. All it takes

is a few clicks to approve or deny a student’s request.

How the Instructor Online Class Add Request Module works

Instructors will have to go to the ACE Portal located at http://academicportal.elac.edu (Figure 1.0) and

click on “Login” under the Faculty area.

It will prompt for the faculty to login with their ACE username and password. To learn about your

faculty ACE accounts go to the following website and click on faculty account details. http://go.elac.edu

How to Opt In, Opt Out (Figure 1.3) If the instructor wants to use the Online Class Add Request Module, they will have to login and set the

system to opt them in. Your entire semester class listing should be displayed, and two buttons will

appear. Preview your class listing and click on the one you want to opt in. Once your class is full, you

have the ability to log back into the portal Add Module and change it to Opt Out. By default, the system

opt status is NO

NOTE: Opting out of this feature will prevent students from seeing their class listing in the Online Class

Add Request Module student interface. This will remove your class information from the available

class listing that the students see on the student interface. And opt in is the opposite.
