    [![courseselect.JPG](https://sophie.onlineschool.ca/uploads/images/gallery/2018-08-Aug/scaled-840-0/courseselect.JPG)](https://sophie.onlineschool.ca/uploads/images/gallery/2018-08-Aug/courseselect.JPG)<p class="callout warning">If you don’t see that ‘Course Selection’ icon, please check that you’ve logged in to Encom using a parent account and not a student account.</p>
2. Courses that have the same grade level of the student will appear by default.
    
    
    1. For example if your student is in Grade 11 in the chosen school year, Grade 11 courses will appear. You can use the **Quick Search** bar in the top left to search the courses, or scroll through the list.

5. You then need to select the pace at which you'd like to complete the course from the drop down menu provided:

    - First Semester means you plan to start and finish a course in September and finish in January/February
    - Second Semester means you plan to start a course on or after February 1.
6. Continue selecting additional courses in the same manner until you have finished adding courses.
