Questions about using Self-Service?
If you have questions about using Self-Service, we encourage you to review documentation on the Self-Service Planning and Registering website, and to visit the VIDEO LIBRARY maintained by the College Advising Center. The CAC posts short, entertaining videos that show how to complete actions in Self-Service, or visually demonstrate other important concepts or actions.
