1) NOTES:  Only the instructor of record will be granted access to exclude students online.  At this time, administrators, department chairs or anyone other than the instructor of record will be denied access to exclude students online in classes other than their own.  Also, you will only be allowed to exclude students if you do so within the normal time frame allowed each semester and for your specific class. 

2) Go to:   http://marlin.laccd.edu/district/grants_and_programs/instructors.htm

3) Click on the "Exclude Students from classes" link. 

4) Enter your DEC User ID (In most cases, this is the first 6 letters of your last name, or fewer letters if your entire last name is less than six letters, followed by your first initial and, if you have one, your middle initial. – Example:  the DEC User ID for John Q. Public would be PUBLICJQ. 

5) Click on the blue “OK” button (pressing “Enter” or the “Return Key” will NOT work!) 

6) Enter your DEC Password   -     If you are a current DEC user, you already have a password that will also work for this purpose. 
- If you are NOT a current, authorized DEC user, use your employee number for your DEC password. 
- If neither of the options above allow you to continue, contact Management Information Systems (MIS) in A102, ext. 437, to obtain an Information System Access Request and Agreement form. 

7) Click on the blue “OK to proceed to the instructor menu” button. 

8) On the next available screen, follow the instructions to select the College, Year, and Semester of the class containing the student(s) you want to exclude.. 

9) Click on the blue “Exclude” button. 

10) Enter the specific section number of the class containing the student(s), and the sequence option to display the student information. 

11) Click the blue “OK" button to submit the request.. 

12) The next screen you see should be your students and directions on how to exclude them.  You must enter the date of exclusion EXACTLY as it shows at the top.  You can exclude as many students as you want at the same time.  When you have entered the dates for all of the students you want to exclude, you need to click on the "OK" button at the bottom of the page. 

13) After a few seconds, the computer will return with the results of your submission.  It will list all of the students you wanted to drop with a **SUCCESSFUL** status next to their name or it will tell you what mistakes you need to correct before the process can conclude.  If you were successful, it gives directions to PRINT the page, SIGN IT, and submit it to the Registration Office.  It is very important to our campus audit process that you submit that paper in a timely manner. 

14) You may then chose to view another course roster or exclude students from another class or exit the system
