From the above, a staff begins by clicking on the link: Staff across the top of the screen. On doing this, the login screen shown below appears:

A staff needs to login with his/her staff Id as contained in his/her Staff ID Card and a desired password, which can be changed later for a more secured one. The format for the Staff Id depends on which establishment a staff belongs to e.g. AT/1302 for a Senior Administrative staff, AC/1234 for an academic staff and JS/1826 for a junior staff.

On entering the username and password combination, the staff sees the welcome screen below showing the staff’s full names:

A staff continues by clicking on OK.

The operations of each task are discussed in turn as follows:

• COURSE ADVISER (REGISTRATION)

This screen is similar to the above except that a course adviser defined to carry out this task has the right to exempt certain students from certain courses as deemed necessary. The screen to do this is shown:

• LOADING OF COURSES
