How-to: Choose Electives
Important
If you change your Timetable Block, you will have to re-enroll in your elective choice. There is a risk that your original choice may no longer be available.
1) Log in to MyNC.
2) Go to the Dashboard.
Once you are logged into MyNC, click on the Dashboard icon.
3) Navigate to “Select/Manage Timetable (NICOLE)”.
- Find the “My Student Record” section.
- Click the “Manage Registration” link.
- Click the “Select/Manage Timetable (NICOLE)” link.
- Read and accept the Important Notice from the Enrolment Services office.
4) The system will let you know if you need to choose an elective.
If your program requires an elective or option, the system will prompt you to choose an elective/option after completing the “Select Your Timetable Block” section.
If there are any Elective exceptions for your program, you will receive a notice in NICOLE.
Please note that not all programs require you to select an elective. If you are still on the Timetable confirmation page, please click on “Choose Your Electives Now!”:
Help! I exited before choosing my elective.
If you exit the system after Selecting Your Timetable, but prior to selecting an elective or course option, please go to “Customize Your Timetable”, and then “Enroll in a Course” and the elective link will be there. If your program requires an elective, you will only be able to choose an elective through this option (dependent on the date). Your other core courses will be displayed, but you will not be able to change your core courses until part-time registration begins, approximately two weeks after the beginning of registration (check the Dates Calendar for key dates).
5) Click on the “General Elective” link.
- Click on the “General Elective” link (the name of this link may vary slightly). A list of available course choices will display.
- Ensure that you scroll down to see all of the open choices.
- Course descriptions are available to the right of the course name.
6) Click on the course code to select the course.
When you have made your decision, click on the course code to select the course.
- Class details will display after clicking the course code.
7) Click on “Enroll in this Class”.
Class details will display.
- If the Location is On Line or Hybrid On Line, then the delivery of this course (or a portion of the course) will be virtual, and no specific scheduling time is required. If the Location is ONLINESYNC, then the schedule will display.
- Different delivery methods are displayed on your timetable in different ways. Refer to Types of Course Delivery for further information.
To enroll, click on “Enroll in this Class” or “Back to Previous Page” to make another selection.
8) Confirm your choice by clicking YES.
A confirmation screen will appear to indicate you have successfully enroled into your elective choice and you are now at a Full-Time Course Load:
Do not close down your browser until you have received your confirmation message.
NICOLE will now indicate that you are enroled into all of your required elective courses:
