Welcome to the GOML M.ED in Accomplished Teaching collaborative program at Columbus State University!
Step-by-Step Guide for New CSU/GOML Students
Have you recently been admitted to one of the new, CSU-Georgia On My Line (GOML) graduate programs? Are you trying to figure out what to do next? This page is designed to guide you through your next steps, assist you in accessing the various systems you will use, and provide you with resources available to you as a student. PLEASE READ THIS INFORMATION CAREFULLY AND RETAIN IT FOR YOUR RECORDS.
As a newly admitted CSU/GOML student you will receive a notification of Quick Admission approval via email.
I received my Quick Admit approval e-mail. What do I do now?
Step #1: Make note of three very important
pieces of information you will need to complete steps 2 through
7.This information can be found in your Quick Admit E-mail:
1. CSU CougarNet e-mail address
2. Academic advisor’s name and contact information
3. CSU Student Identification Number (9-digit number at the
bottom of your e-mail beginning with ‘909’)
Step #2: Log into your CSU CougarNet E-mail
Account
Your CougarNet e-mail address is the official
means of communication from CSU faculty and staff, and your
address will serve as your username for other GOML systems.
Your CougarNet e-mail address was included in your Quick Admit
Approval E-mail. In some cases your advisor may have already
sent an e-mail to your CougarNet account, but if not, you need to
initiate contact with your advisor using this account.
| To access CougarNet: |
**Trouble logging into or accessing your CougarNet E-mail Account? Go to retrieving login info online, our Portal Login Information page, CINS Helpdesk (Computer Information and Networking Services)706-507-8199, or e-mail helpdesk@colstate.edu. |
Step #3: Contact your
Academic Advisor
Your academic advisor will
serve your advisor for the duration of your time as a CSU-GOML
student. You must contact your academic advisor each semester
to have your registration hold lifted. In some cases, when you
log into the CougarNet e-mail system for the first time, you may
have an e-mail waiting on you from your advisor. If not, you
should contact your advisor by phone or using your CougarNet
e-mail.
Step #4: Make note of your
CSU Student
Identification Number
All GOML students who
declare CSU as their home institution are issued a CSU Student
ID or “909 Number”. This number serves in place of your Social
Security Number, must be used in communications with CSU faculty
and staff. You
can find this number at the bottom of your Quick Admit Approval
E-mail.
| To look up your Student ID: |
** Trouble obtaining your ID Number? If you have problems with your ‘909’ Student ID Number please contact the CINS helpdesk @ 706-507-8199, Enrollment Services @ 706-507-8800 or email Columbus State University at helpdesk@colstate.edu. |
Step #5: GOML Course Registration System
Once you are admitted to
your GOML program, you will complete registration for classes
via the GOML Course Registration System. This registration
system supports University System of Georgia Collaborative
Programs and is completely independent from the Banner
Registration System used for other CSU programs. It may take
up to 5 business days for you to receive access to this system.
If you have difficulty logging in, please check that you are
using the correct information (listed below) and allow up to 5
days to obtain system access.
| To log into the GOML Course Registration system for the first time: | |
**Trouble with the GOML Registration System? Submit a help request at http://www.georgiaonmyline.org/contact.
|
Step #6: Pay
your fees
Since CSU is your home
institution, you will pay for your GOML courses through
CougarNet. Once logged into CougarNet, click on the Enrollment
Services Tab and look under Tution & Fees to view your
information and pay online. Please allow up to 2 business
days after you complete your GOML Course Registration for your
course schedule and tuition due, to reflect in CougarNet.
If you want to apply for Financial Aid check out the Financial Aid website at http://www.colstate.edu/future/cost/pay.asp or call (706)507-8898. If you already applied for Financial Aid, you can look in CougarNet under the Enrollment Services Tab at the Financial Aid section. Students are responsible for ensuring financial aid coverage or making payment arrangements with the CSU Student Accounts Office. Students whose fees are not paid or for whom arrangements have not been made by the fee payment deadline will be dropped from classes. Call (706) 507-8897 for Student Accounts.
**Trouble paying your fees or notice a problem with the fees assessed? Contact Student Accounts (706) 507-8897.
Step #7: Accessing the E-Classroom
The GOML online courses use the GeorgiaVIEW
WebCT Vista System (also known as WebCT or WebCT Vista). You
will be able to log into your classes on the first day of class
(see GOML Academic Term Calendar). Please note: the GeorgiaVIEW
WebCT System for GOML programs can only be accessed using the
link below. This system will serve as the hub for your GOML
courses. Here you will attend class, correspond with your
classmates and professors, check your grades and much more.
| To log into your online courses: | |
The log-in information for the GOML Registration System & the GeorgiaVIEW system is the same; however, these are separate systems. You will need to use your Birthday Password on your first log in, into each system. |
