10. Now you’re in the Student pages of your myACC account.
You will want to come to this page often to register for
classes and read about current events on campus and lots of
other things.

11. There’s a zillion things on this page!!
Where am I supposed to be looking ??!

12. See the box in the upper middle of
the page - Registration Tools? That’s
what you want to focus on for now

13. Yes, I talked with an

a list of classes to take

take – right?
All right, then just click
on the Look Up Classes
link under the

select the Term
for the course you

for…select Spring

So what’s one of the classes
you need to take?
English121…

Use the scroll bar to find English as your
Subject from the drop down list

16. Select English from the
Subject drop list box
Next, type in “121” in the
Course Number box

17. Next scroll down to the
bottom of the page and click on
the Class Search button

18. Yikes!!! ….
Here are all the English
121 classes (Sections)
offered in the Spring
Semester!

19. This is a lot of
information! We’ll just
focus on the top left
side of the page for
now.

20. Lets look at the columns across
the top starting with CRN.
Being familiar with the
categories of information on the
class search pages will make
reading this easier.
The CRN is a five digit number
that uniquely identifies each
class. When you go to register
for a class you will need to know
the CRN number for each class

21. The next column, Subj - is
the Subject column. This
column will contain a three
letter abbreviation for the
class Subject
In this case the ENG
stands for English – or it
could be BIO for Biology
or MAT for Math or HIS
for History

22. The next column Crse - is
the Course Number . In
general the higher the
Course Number the more
advanced the course.
A course with a high
Course number may
require a Prerequisite
course – a course you
need to take before you
can take that course.
For example - you have to
take BIO 111 - General
College Biology before you
can take BIO 201 –
Anatomy and Physiology

23. The next column Sec - is the
Section Number column.
Some classes like English 121
are very popular and ACC will
offer many Sections of ENG
121 Each ENG 121 class
offered has an Section Number
If you scroll down to the
bottom of this page you will
see that ACC offers 24
“sections” of English 121 –
ENG 121 Sec 101- through–
Sec 124.

24. The next column Cmp - is short
for “Campus.” AMC stands for
Arapahoe Community College
Main Campus – which is the
Littleton Campus
ACC also has a Campus in
Parker - which is abbreviated
by AUC – which stands for
Arapahoe Community College
at the University Center at
Chaparral.

25. In the next column Cred -
stands for Credits. The
English 121 class is a
three Credit class.

26. The next column is the Title
column. The Title of the
class is listed in this column.
The Title of ENG 121 is
English Composition.

27. The Days Column tells
you what days of the
week the class meets.
MW means the class
meets on Mondays
and Wednesdays -TR
means the class meets
on Tuesdays and
Thursdays. (R stands
for Thursdays)

28. The Time column tells you what
time of the day or evening the
class begins and ends.

29. The next three column headings are
related. Cap stands for classroom
Capacity for students, Act Stands
for the Actual number of student s
who have registered for the class
and Rem stands for the number of
Remaining seats available for
registration.
In the sample to the right, there are
23 available seats in the English
Composition class, zero (0)
students have registered , so there
23 seats Remain available for
registration.

30. The last four columns on this page
provide useful information also.
The Instructor column provides
the name of the instructor
teaching each specific Section of
the class. This is useful if you
would have specific questions
about the class and needed to
contact the instructor.

31. The Date column lists the
beginning and ending dates of
the class.
The example at the right is for
the Fall semester – the class
begins August 17 and ends on
December 2nd.

32. The Location column tells you the
Building and Room Number that
the class will be held in.
In the example at the right-
AM stands for Arapahoe
Community College , Main
Building, Fourth Floor, Room
4790

33. The Attributes
Column indicates if
the course is a
Guaranteed
Transfer course
(GT) and if it has
High Cost Course
Fees associated
with it.

34. Now you know how to
read the Class Search
Page. You will need to
look up the classes you
need to take and decide
the times and dates that
will work best for you.
As you search for your classes, be
sure to write down the CRN
numbers so you will have them
handy when you go to register for
your classes on the Registration
Page
When you are ready to
register for your classes,
go back to the
Registration Tools box
on your Student Tab
and click on the Add or
Drop Classes link.

35. This is the Registration
Page where you Add
classes to Register. Just

in the boxes at the bottom
of the page

36. Then click on
Submit Changes

37. For example - Type in the CRN
