Full transcript

1. 0:02academic course plan assignment. Make
2. 0:04sure to read your instructor's
3. 0:05announcements, notes, and directions, as
4. 0:08well as watching all videos posted. It
5. 0:11is possible that your instructor has
6. 0:13further requirements than mentioned
7. 0:15here. Contact your instructor as soon as
8. 0:17possible if you have any questions or
9. 0:19unsure of what you should do.
10. 0:23We will cover some basic questions about
11. 0:25the academic course plan. With this
12. 0:27assignment, being comfortable navigating
13. 0:29around Self-Service is key.
14. 0:32Make sure you have the key items we will
15. 0:33discuss in the next few slides.
16. 0:36Transfer guide, curriculum standard for
17. 0:38transfer students,
18. 0:40program planning guide, which we will
19. 0:42refer to as a PPG for applied science
20. 0:44students, and the academic course plan
21. 0:47directions and template. If you are
22. 0:49nervous about using Self-Service, don't
23. 0:51be. You aren't going to mistakenly
24. 0:53register. Self-Service will
25. 0:55automatically save updates as you are
26. 0:57working.
27. 1:00The purpose of the ACP assignment is to
28. 1:02use your transfer guide or PPG and
29. 1:05Self-Service to plan out courses you
30. 1:07will take at Wake Tech so you can
31. 1:09successfully complete your program or
32. 1:11transfer to the school of your choice.
33. 1:14The ACP assignment will help you
34. 1:15understand how many semesters you will
35. 1:17need to take at Wake Tech, what specific
36. 1:20classes you need, and in what order they
37. 1:22must be taken.
38. 1:24Transfer students will also learn about
39. 1:26what transfer requirements are needed in
40. 1:28order to transfer to your desired
41. 1:30university in your desired major.
42. 1:35Before starting, we recommend having a
43. 1:37few things.
44. 1:39First, a computer. We do not recommend
45. 1:42using a tablet or a phone for this
46. 1:44assignment.
47. 1:45Remember, you have access to computers
48. 1:48on campus if needed.
49. 1:50Second, log in to Self-Service through
50. 1:52the Wake Tech homepage.
51. 1:55Finally, have your transfer guide or PPG
52. 1:58readily available to help you plan
53. 2:00courses.
54. 2:01Don't forget to utilize the academic
55. 2:03course plan resource folder on your
56. 2:05course shell page.
57. 2:09On your course page, be sure to read the
58. 2:11assignment directions and grading
59. 2:13rubric. Contact your instructor with any
60. 2:15questions after reviewing the assignment
61. 2:17directions.
62. 2:19Make sure to reference your My Progress
63. 2:21screen in Self-Service. You should
64. 2:23choose classes from each category based
65. 2:25on what is required by your program
66. 2:27planning guide or as directed by your
67. 2:29transfer guide.
68. 2:31Please note, if you wait until the last
69. 2:33minute, you will not do well on this
70. 2:34assignment.
71. 2:36If you are a transfer student, you will
72. 2:38find your transfer guides on the CFNC
73. 2:40website. You can also find instructions
74. 2:43for
75. 2:44accessing transfer guides on the ACP
76. 2:46Resources folder under transfer guides.
77. 2:49Transfer students will use their
78. 2:50transfer guides
79. 2:52for the recommended courses
80. 2:54to complete their academic course plan.
81. 2:56You will upload the PDF of your transfer
82. 2:58guide with your academic course planning
83. 3:00template when you complete your
84. 3:02assignment.
85. 3:04If you are an applied science student,
86. 3:07you will find
87. 3:09the instructions for accessing your
88. 3:11program planning guide in the ACP
89. 3:13Resources folder in on the Wake Tech
90. 3:15homepage.
91. 3:17Applied science students will use their
92. 3:18program planning guide to complete the
93. 3:20ACP, and you will upload a PDF of your
94. 3:23program planning guide when you complete
95. 3:25this assignment.
96. 3:29This is the document you will use to
97. 3:31select courses from if you are an
98. 3:33applied science student. AAS students
99. 3:35will use your program planning guide for
100. 3:37your specific Wake Tech program. When
101. 3:40referring to your PPG, make sure you
102. 3:42look at the prerequisites for each
103. 3:43course.
104. 3:45There are courses that must be taken in
105. 3:47a specific order as they build upon each
106. 3:49other.
107. 3:53We'll give you a quick overview of
108. 3:55self-service, but please remember to
109. 3:57watch all the self-service videos.
110. 4:00To complete this assignment, you must
111. 4:02plan your degree at Wake Tech in
112. 4:03self-service.
113. 4:05Each student has access to his or her
114. 4:08self-service. There are many videos to
115. 4:10watch to help you navigate this, and
116. 4:12there's an also a self-service how-to
117. 4:15sheet in your Wake Tech or excuse me,
118. 4:17your ACP resources.
119. 4:19Your instructor will be checking two
120. 4:21main areas, timeline and my progress.
121. 4:24The following slides have examples of
122. 4:27what you should look out for in
123. 4:28self-service.
124. 4:30First, you want to access self-service
125. 4:33and then navigate to the student
126. 4:35planning tab.
127. 4:37Next, you will see student planning
128. 4:40gives you two options, and you want to
129. 4:42select on the left go to my progress tab
130. 4:45in the my progress.
131. 4:47Your goal for this assignment is to plan
132. 4:49an entire associate's degree or to plan
133. 4:52a complete degree program.
134. 4:55>> [clears throat]
135. 4:56>> Notice on this image the yellow letters
136. 4:58stating fully planned. This is what your
137. 5:01instructor is looking for when grading
138. 5:03your plan in self-service.
139. 5:05Each category, when planned correctly,
140. 5:08will say fully planned. You may also see
141. 5:11a green check mark and see completed.
142. 5:14This will also count.
143. 5:16If you have any areas
144. 5:19like this image where there is no fully
145. 5:21planned or completed message, then
146. 5:23you've not successfully completed the
147. 5:25assignment.
148. 5:29>> We are now in the course catalog view.
149. 5:32When adding a class, use the plan course
150. 5:35button on the top right and not view
151. 5:38available sections.
152. 5:40When you are planning out future
153. 5:42courses,
154. 5:44we
155. 5:46don't know the published classes for
156. 5:48times and schedules for that semester.
157. 5:52You can still plan for a future
158. 5:53semester. When it comes time to register
159. 5:56for that semester, you'll already know
160. 5:58what classes you need to register for.
161. 6:04On the timeline view, you can check
162. 6:06several important things.
163. 6:08First, do you have any alerts? Notice
164. 6:11the yellow alerts on the screen.
165. 6:14If you have these, you must fix the
166. 6:16issue. Usually, this means you have
167. 6:18planned classes out of order or are
168. 6:20missing a co-requisite or prerequisite.
169. 6:25You click add a term to add future
170. 6:27semesters.
171. 6:29You can count your credit hours here.
172. 6:32For a full associate's degree, you
173. 6:34should have 60 to 61 credits.
174. 6:37Reminder that courses that start with a
175. 6:39zero are not counted towards this total.
176. 6:42For example, chemo 90.
177. 6:46If you are pursuing another program,
178. 6:48your number of credits will vary. Be
179. 6:50sure you have planned your entire
180. 6:52program as listed on your PPG.
181. 6:55You should also make sure that you do
182. 6:57not have too many credits planned for
183. 6:59each semester.
184. 7:00Remember, we require
185. 7:03no more than nine in the summer and no
186. 7:05more than 16 in the fall or spring for
187. 7:07this assignment. If you want to plan
188. 7:10more, you should speak to your
189. 7:11instructor about why you are doing this
190. 7:14and also explain on the template your
191. 7:16reasoning for planning the high number
192. 7:18of semester hours.
193. 7:22>> If the degree listed in self-service is
194. 7:24not correct, for example, you need an AA
195. 7:27and they have it listed as an AS or you
196. 7:29are planning on completing a certificate
197. 7:31program and you are planned for the AAS
198. 7:34degree, you need to speak to advising to
199. 7:36get this fixed. However, to view the
200. 7:39appropriate classes to take for the new
201. 7:41degree, follow these instructions. These
202. 7:44are also listed in the instructions
203. 7:46document. This also applies to all CCP
204. 7:49or high school students. If you are a
205. 7:52CCP or high school student, you must
206. 7:54take this step when changing the view of
207. 7:56your program. Self-service automatically
208. 7:59reverts you back to the CCP pathway,
209. 8:02which is not a complete degree.
210. 8:06From my progress screen, view a new
211. 8:08program. Search for your degree. All
212. 8:11associate's degrees and AAS degrees are
213. 8:14listed. Courses that you have completed,
214. 8:16in progress, and planned will populate
215. 8:19here.
216. 8:20Each sections is should say fully
217. 8:22planned. Please note that this is not an
218. 8:24official change of your plan. You will
219. 8:26need to meet with an advisor to
220. 8:28officially change your intended degree
221. 8:30if you need to do so.
222. 8:32CCP students should make certain they
223. 8:34are planning the requirements for a full
224. 8:36associate's degree, not a CCP transfer
225. 8:39pathway.
226. 8:41You are encouraged to see an advisor
227. 8:43each semester. However, it is not
228. 8:45required to complete this assignment.
229. 8:47>> [clears throat]
230. 8:48>> Wake Tech Advising offers in-person,
231. 8:50walk-in advising appointments, or
232. 8:52virtual. When in the peak of
233. 8:54registration, there will be a longer
234. 8:55wait for walk-in appointments and online
235. 8:58appointments. If you
236. 9:00If you are close to being able to
237. 9:01graduate, it is even more important that
238. 9:03you meet with an advisor to verify your
239. 9:05plan is on track.
240. 9:09>> All transcripts for students, and this
241. 9:11includes CCP students, should make sure
242. 9:13they're planning the requirements for a
243. 9:15full associate's degree.
244. 9:18Applied science students will plan a
245. 9:20complete degree pathway.
246. 9:22No matter your student status or future
247. 9:25plans, all students must plan the
248. 9:28credits needed for completing their
249. 9:29degree or program.
250. 9:32Transfer students will plan 60 to 61
251. 9:34credits for a complete associate's
252. 9:36degree and applied science students will
253. 9:39plan all credits needed for their
254. 9:41designated degree.
255. 9:44>> [gasps]
256. 9:44>> You're being graded on the planning and
257. 9:47the understanding of the different parts
258. 9:48of a degree. You must plan out an entire
259. 9:51degree in self-service, no matter your
260. 9:54future plans.
261. 9:55You must upload the assignment template
262. 9:58and the PDF of your transfer guide or
263. 10:00PPG to the assignment submission.
264. 10:03You must answer all the questions on the
265. 10:05template, use the questions at the
266. 10:08bottom of the template to explain any
267. 10:10issues or inconsistencies in your
268. 10:12planning.
269. 10:14Remember, the ACP counts for 20% of your
270. 10:17course grade.
271. 10:19That's all we have and you're ready to
272. 10:21get started on this assignment. Let your
273. 10:23instructor know if you have questions.
274. 10:25Good luck.
