After you log into the TSTC Portal there are rows of icons below the taskbar at the top of the page, one of them is named myTSTC. This will take you to the Student Self-Service site where you can plan your classes.
A new window will open and you will see the Welcome Screen for Student Self Service. There are multiple choices that you can click. To Plan your courses for each semester, select Student Planning.
Next, you will see two options
View your Progress, where you can see your academic progress in your degree and search for courses
Plan your Degree & Register for Classes.
You will also see your Program(Degree), your overall GPA, and how far along you are.
To continue planning, Click View Your Progress.
Here you can view various information about your degree plan and your progress.
If you scroll down further on the page you will see all the courses you are required to take before you can graduate. If a course is showing Green then you have completed that course and can view what semester you took the course and your final grade.If you see a course that has a Yellow status that means the course has already been Planned for a future semester. A Red status means that you have not completed the course and that you have not planned it yet.
Click on a course that is showing a status of Red.
You can see Information about the course here. NOTE: Only one course should show here. Remember, You are not picking sections at this time, only planning.
Click the button that says Add Course to Plan.
If the course requires a prerequisite you will see a notification. This is informational, not an error. It is letting you know that you have to plan the course that is required during a semester before this course.
In the drop down box that says TERM select which semester you want to take this course and click Add Course to Plan.
When the box closes, there is a green notification under your name that tells you the course has been Planned. Click on Back to My Progress.
You can now see you the course you planned is no longer Red, it is Yellow.
