2 Texas Computer Cooperative



Introduction The Student Course Requests application allows you to request courses for the next school year. At this time, once you submit your course requests, you cannot go back to change them. You will need to visit with your counselor. The application provides real-time data that is updated any time courses are requested. You may access txMyZone anywhere with an Internet connection (school or home).



Login Welcome to txMyZone. This site provides Web access to school-related information about you, including course requests.

• The current version of the application displays in the top-left corner.

• The Help link is available in the top-right corner.

• When you click the Help link, a dialog box appears with search capability to display more detailed information in the Help system.

• To close the Help pop-up box, click Close.

Log On to the System In order to access txMyZone, you must log on to the system. If there is no activity in the application after 20 minutes, your login will time out, and you will return to the Login page.

From the txMyZone welcome screen, click Student Course Requests.



• In the Last Name field, type your last name. The field is not case-sensitive.

• In the Birth Date field, type your birth date in the MM/DD/YYYY (month/day/year) format.

• In the Social Security Number field, type your nine-digit social security number without hyphens.

• Click Login to access the Student Course Requests application.

Unable to Log On to the System • After clicking Login, you may receive an error, "The information you entered is incorrect.

Please try again."

• Most likely, you have entered your name, birth date, or social security number incorrectly. Try entering the information again, and click Login.

• If you are still unable to log on, you may need to visit with your counselor.

• You may also receive an error, "You do not have access to the system at this time. Please check with your counselor."

Most likely, your campus has not opened the application for requests. Please check with your counselor for more information.

Select and Submit Courses The txMyZone Student Course Requests application will allow you to select and submit courses for your next school year schedule.

Note: If you log on to the application and you are only able to view the Confirmation page, you have either already submitted your course requests, or your campus has changed the application settings to view-only. If no courses are listed on the Confirmation page, you have not requested courses for the next school year and will need to meet with your counselor.

A message from your campus will automatically appear in a window once you log on. Click Close.

Select Courses • To begin selecting courses, you must have the appropriate number of units available.

• The Units Remaining field is located in the top-right corner of the page. The number in the Units Remaining field is the number of courses available for you to select from the Available Courses section. The field is display only.

• Most courses are worth two units because the course is two semesters long. The units depend on your campus and the number of semesters required for the course.



• The number of units required for each course is displayed in the Units column of the Available Courses section.

• Once the Units Remaining field is at zero, you will not be able to select additional courses unless you remove a previously selected course from the Requested Courses section.

• The Units Remaining field will increase as you remove courses.

• The Units Remaining field will decrease as you add courses.

• Under the Subjects section, click the link for the appropriate subject you would like to view. When a subject link is clicked, the list of courses under the Available Courses section will change to correspond with the subject clicked.

For example, when the Science link is clicked, all courses in the Available Courses section will change to science classes available at your campus.

• To add a course from the Available Courses list, click in the Add column next to the appropriate course.

• The course will appear in the Requested Courses list and will disappear from the Available Courses list.

• The Units Remaining field will decrease by the appropriate number of units.

• To remove a course from the Requested Courses list, click in the Drop column next to the appropriate course.



• The course will reappear in the Available Courses list and will disappear from the Requested Courses list.

• The Units Remaining field will increase by the appropriate number of units.

• If a course displays in the Requested Courses list and you do not have the ability to remove it, then it was added by your campus, and you will need to meet with a counselor to discuss it.

• To view courses from the next subject, either click the corresponding subject name in the Subject section, or click Next Subject.

• A Previous Subject button will appear as you view multiple subjects. To view courses from the previous subject, click Previous Subject.

Submit Courses • Before submitting the courses you have selected in the Requested Courses list, confirm

each of the following:

• The name, grade level, campus, and team name displayed at the top of the page are correct.

• The Units Remaining field is equal to zero.

• If any units remain, you will need to meet with a counselor at a later date to complete your schedule.

• You are satisfied with your selections.

No changes may be made once you click Submit.

• To submit your list, click Submit.

• A message will display confirming your choice to submit your request.

• Click Save Requests to view the confirmation page.

• Click Do NOT Save Requests Yet to continue adding or removing courses.



Confirmation Now that you have submitted your course requests, you will no longer be able to make changes. If you would like to add or remove any courses, you will need to meet with a counselor.

The Confirmation page allows you to view and print your submitted course requests. At anytime, you may still log on to the txMyZone Student Course Requests application to view and print this information.

Note: If you log on to the application and you are only able to view the Confirmation page, you have either already submitted your course requests, or your campus has changed the application settings to view-only. If no courses are listed on the Confirmation page, you have not requested courses for the next school year and will need to meet with your counselor.
