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 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.
