Email Title: Important Announcement Regarding Changes in DSS Priority Registration
DSS Priority Registration Portal Training (Workshops)
Starting the spring 2012, DSS Students will be registering using the De Anza Portal System (MyPortal). Students who are not able to use the portal system to perform registration functions should attend a 1 hour DSS workshop. Workshops will be held on an ongoing basis during the winter 2012 and spring 2012 quarter to train students on using the portal (refer below for winter 2012 dates and location). Note: All DSS students will meet with their DSS Counselors for a mandatory advising appointment for assistance in choosing their classes for the next quarter (spring 2012). It is mandatory for all DSS students to schedule and attend a priority registration advising appointment to gain authorization to register yourself on the designated priority registration date (day YOU register yourself), which will be on March 6th and 7th. Priority registration advising will begin on January 30th and extend until March 5th- so schedule an appointment with your counselor.
Workshop Purpose
The purpose of the workshop is to train students on how to use the De Anza Portal System (My Portal) for registration purposes. The workshops will be conducted by DSS counselors. The dates and location of workshops are below.
Who Should Attend
Any DSS student not reasonably comfortable using the De Anza MyPortal system in performing registration functions on their own (e.g., adding and dropping courses, and paying fees online using the portal). If you need any training to become skilled in using the De Anza MyPortal system then attend a training workshop ASAP. For the spring 2012 DSS priority registration, DSS students will enter their registration on March 6th and 7th, so you will need to be proficient in using the portal before this date.
DSS Registration Assistance (Special Circumstances): For students with disability- related limitations, needing the assistance of a DSS counselor to register the “old way” (entry into the De Anza system and paying fees), this can be discussed at the mandatory advising appointment during the priority registration advising period (January 30th- March 5th).
Winter Quarter 2012 Portal Training Workshop Dates and Location
Every Tuesday: January 17th- March 6th 201210:30am - 11:30 am (Dates after 03/06 will be announced later in the quarter)
Every Wednesday: January 18th- March 7th 1:30pm - 2:30pm
Location: Student and Community Services Conference Room (SCS Building- Second Floor )
