Self Service is CCAD’s online registration system. This is where students register for classes, view GPA and grades for prior classes, pay bills, and request unofficial transcripts. Faculty can search for courses, view class rosters, take attendance, and submit midterm and final grades. Learn how by watching the video tutorials or following the step-by-step instructions below.
