Adding a C2C Program to the online Database

1. Launch Internet Explorer or other web browser to gain access to the Internet.
2. Delete all text in the “Address” or URL bar, type in c2c.sdsu.edu and Press the Enter Key. The C2C home page will appear on your screen.
3. Scroll down in your web browser screen until you see the text Project Administrator Login (left hand margin). Move your mouse pointer over the text and left-click once. The C2C login page will appear on your screen.
4. If you have used the C2C website previously, please fill in your e-mail and password selected previously, and skip to step 10, otherwise, please continue with step 5.
5. Move your mouse pointer over the text Create a New Project Administrator Account and left-click once. The account request page will appear on your screen. Click on each box, and fill-in all of the information. (Note: All of the fields are required)
6. Move your mouse pointer over the box Submit Request and left-click once. The main login page will appear on your screen, and you will see the text User registration success! Please check your e-mail for a temporary password.
7. Use your standard method for checking e-mail (but DO NOT close your web browser that currently shows the main login page), and look for an e-mail from C2C with the subject line stating C2C User Registration. Open the email, and write down your temporary password. You will need this password to log onto the C2C database for the first time.
8. Return to your web browser that is currently displaying the main login page. In the e- mail box, enter the e-mail you used in step 5. In the password box, type the temporary password you just wrote down. Passwords are case sensitive so copy the password exactly how it is shown, or the password will be rejected. After you have filled out both boxes, move the mouse pointer over the box Log In and left-click once. The Change Password page will now appear on your screen.
9. 9) Since you are logging in with your temporary password for the first time, you must now select a password of your own. (The password must be between 4 and 8 characters long) After you have done this, move your mouse pointer over the box Submit Change and left-click once. The Project Administrator page will appear on your screen.
10. From this page, you have the ability to add new programs, update your user information, and modify your already existing program(s). To add a new program, move your mouse pointer over the text Add New Program and left-click once. The Add New Program page will appear on your screen.
11. To begin, left-click once on the button directly to the right of the Department column. This page will display a menu of all the departments at SDSU. Scroll through the list and select your department. Once you select the department, you will notice the associated College is automatically inserted in the box above. Then left-click once in the box under the text Program / Center / Initiative. Fill out the name of your Program, Center, or Initiative. Continue entering data on form. (Note: You provide information in the boxes in which the word Required appears to the right of the box.) After you have entered all of the information relevant to your program, scroll to the bottom of the screen, and move your mouse pointer over the box Add program and left-click once. The confirmation page will now appear on your screen.
12. Review your record. Make sure there are no spelling errors, typos, or incorrect information. If you find a mistake, or make an error, move your mouse pointer over the box Edit, and you will be returned to the previous page, where you can correct your mistake. If everything appears to be correct, move your mouse pointer over the box Confirm and left-click once. The program details page will now appear on your screen.
13. The program details page displays exactly what the public will see when searching for your program using the database. If you feel any information is missing or incorrect click on the Review Program box, and you will return to the Program editing page, where you can make changes to the data.
14. In order for the public to be able to search for your program, it is necessary for you to input “keywords” that will be used to search for your program. If your program is an audiology program, you might want to consider using keywords such as “audiology”, “hearing”, and “ear”. In order to assign your program keywords, move your mouse pointer over the text Add/Remove Keywords and left-click once. The add/remove keywords page will now appear on your screen.
15. In order to add keywords for your program, type a single word or phrase into the box to the left of Keyword. These are the words the public will use to search for your program. After you have typed a single word or phrase, move your mouse pointer over the box Add Keyword and left-click once. You will now see a box titled Current Keywords. This box will show you all the search words or phrases for your program. Continue this process until you feel you have included all of the keywords applicable to your program. If you have a keyword you want to delete, use the pull-down menu to the right of the text select Keyword and left-click on the word or phrase you would like to remove. Move your mouse pointer over the box Delete Selected Keyword and left-click once. You will notice that the word you have just deleted no longer appears in the Current Keywords list. When you have finished, move your mouse pointer over the text Program Detail located directly above the Add/Remove Keywords text at the top of the page, and left-click once. This will return you to the program details page. You will see what the public views when looking at your program record
16. The public has the capability to also search the C2C database by categories. If you would like the public to be able to find your program by searching through related categories, move your mouse-pointer over the box Add/Remove Categories and left-click once. The add/remove categories page will appear on your screen. To add a category to your program, click on the pull-down menu located to the right of the text Select Category and left click on the relevant category. Move your mouse pointer over the box Add Selected Category and left-click once. You will notice that the category will now appear under the Current Categories heading. You may also remove categories you feel no longer apply to your program with the same process. In the Select Category box located above the Delete Selected Category box, choose the category you wish to remove, and then left-click on the Delete Selected Category box. The category will no longer appear under Current Categories.
17. Once you have completed the steps above, your program is sent to the C2C administrator for approval. Once the C2C administrator approves your program, you will receive an email stating that your program has been approved. Your program will not be visible to the public until it is approved.
18. When are ready to leave the website, move your mouse pointer over the text logout located in the upper right-hand corner of the page, and left-click once. You can safely exit your browser and exit the program.
