Self Service is a new and innovative tool for accessing your own
student records. It will eventually replace WebAdvisor. For now,
you can access Self Service through the WebAdvisor menu either
by clicking on the “View Account and Make Payments” link or by
clicking on the “Student Planning” link.
Revised March 2015
WebAdvisor may be used to register for classes, view class schedules, check grades, view unofficial
transcripts, make payments, check financial aid information, and much more.
All currently enrolled students may log in to their WebAdvisor account. Go to www.cfcc.edu. Click on
myCFCC to get started.
On the Log In screen, enter your User ID and Password. Click Submit.
If you forgot your User ID or Password click on “What’s my User ID?” to retrieve your User ID; click on
“What’s my Password”, to reset your password.

Once you have successfully logged into myCFCC, click on the WebAdvisor button on the left side of the
screen.
Go to the Students Menu to see the Welcome screen listed below.
Click Search for Sections or the Register for Sections links to find courses that you wish to take.

Search/Register for Sections screen, select the Term you begin your search.
Select at least one other search parameter (Subject, Section Meeting Times, Days, Course Title
Keyword, Location, or Instructor’s Last Name) to get search results. (Do not use Course Level as a
search parameter.) Click Submit to begin the search.
Search for Sections only allows you to view the class schedule. Register for Sections allows you to
place selected courses into your “shopping cart”. Clicking Submit, builds a list of preferred sections. It
does not hold or waitlist your classes. Remember, you are not registering now; you are simply building
a list of preferred sections.

students will need to go to Student Services to process a drop. Dropping a course may affect your

Program Evaluation
The WebAdvisor Program Evaluation is an advising tool designed to assist you in planning for
graduation. It matches the courses you have already taken and the courses you are currently enrolled
in, to the degree or certificate requirements for your major. It is not an official evaluation, but an
evolving review of the credits used to meet your degree or certificate requirements. This evaluation
may not include complete information regarding GPA, or other specific requirements appropriate to
the degree or certificate you are seeking. Students should see a counselor if they have any questions
about the information provided in the program evaluation.
6
Select either your own academic program, or a new one you might be interested in reviewing.
Understanding Your Program Evaluation
The Program Summary section of your program evaluation provides general information regarding you
and the program you have selected for review, your advisor, and number of credits.
7
Status Code Definitions on the Program Evaluation
Complete—you have completed the requirements of this section
In Progress—some, but not all of the requirements are complete
Not Started—you have not enrolled in, or completed any courses in this section
Pending—the last part of the requirement will be satisfied if current coursework is completed with an
acceptable grade
Section 2: General Education Requirements shows your progress towards required courses in the
general education area.
8
Section 3: Major Requirements shows your progress towards required courses in the student’s major
area of study.
Section 4: Computer Competency shows the status of the student’s progress towards any required
computer courses for their major. Not all programs have a Computer Competency requirement or it
may be built into Required Courses.
Other Courses
At the very end of your program evaluation will be a block that will include all “other courses.” This
section contains coursework that was not applied towards the degree or certificate section
requirements.

Self Service – Program Planning
Cape Fear Community College offers an online connection for students to review their finances and
plan their program of study. Students can schedule their courses for the upcoming semester as well as
plan out their entire program of study using the timeline to see the courses needed to complete their
degree requirements. Click on the Student Planning link to get started!
Self Service Welcome Screen
Login and Sign out information is
displayed here. Help is available for
each particular screen and menu
option. Notifications will appear in
this area too.
There are two tabs on the main screen that may be accessed once the student is logged into the secure
system. The first tab in the list is for Student Finance and the second tab is Student Planning.

Student Planning Overview
Under the Student Planning tab, there are several options to assist in monitoring and planning a
program of study. The choices are: My Progress, Plan & Schedule, and Course Catalog.
My Progress
For a detailed overview of your progress for your program of study, select My Progress. The screen will
populate with your program. It looks very similar to Program Evaluation in WebAdvisor.

Total Credits
from this
School.
The progress bar color codes are: dark green = credits completed; green = credits in progress; yellow =
credits planned.
Reviewing Degree Requirements
Degree requirements that have been met are marked as Completed.
Courses marked as Fulfilled simply mean that the requirement for that section has been met, not that
credit has been received for those courses.
Click on Plan & Schedule to map out your program requirements for the next semester as well as the
future terms. The Schedule view shows the current term and the courses that you are enrolled in for
that term. The number of enrolled credits will appear on the screen as well.
Once a category is complete, you can use the Hide feature to suppress the course in that category you
did not take.
12
Plan & Schedule Overview
The planning feature of Self Service allows you to plan your courses out from one semester ahead to
planning your whole program. Samples plans are an optional tool available for loading courses based
on the course sequences laid out in the catalog. Sample plans are based on the assumption of full time
enrollment and the student being ready for college level English and Math.


Sample plans are not available for College Transfer programs.
Sample plans do not include required courses from pick lists. Review your Degree
Requirements and be sure to included Social Sciences, Humanities/Fine Arts, and related
electives in your planning!
Registered courses appear in green.
The courses in this example are all online courses so they do not appear on the weekly schedule for
any particular time. They will appear at the very bottom of the page.
