  • Need a logon and password? If you are in the biometric clock, you can touch "Password Reset" and follow the prompts to key in your employee ID number, etc. When the display ends your logon or username will be displayed on the screen. This action also resets your password to your social security number (without the dashes). Go back to your computer and use this same username and your SSN to logon to Oracle. If you are not in the biometric clock, call the Technical Assistance Center (TAC) at 972.925.5630.

  • What is the Oracle URL or address to access from the internet? There are two different URLs or addresses to access Oracle. The address for Oracle from a DISD computer and the address from home? You will need an internet account at home as well.

  • What if my internet service provider (ISP) uses some browser other than Internet Explorer, such as AOL? You will need to logon to your ISP as usual, but then minimize the window (click on the minus sign found at the top right side of the window) and double click on the Internet Explorer browser icon found on the desktop or on your start menu.

  • Where can I find a copy of my training record? After you have logged on to Oracle, click on DISD Employee Self-Service and scroll down to Training Services > Training History. You may print your history by clicking on the Print button found at the top right corner of the window.

  • I am trying to enroll in a class and the message says, "your search found no classes". What happened? One of two things may have happened. One, you typed in more than the event code on the top line of the Activity Keyword Search or Event Code. Do not choose any of the search criteria if you know the event or session code number. Just type in the event code at the top and click the Search button at the bottom on the window. Secondly, the event or class may have closed for registration. Registration closes 3 days before the event to allow adequate time for processing the class packets and training certificates.

  • What if I have a username and password but they do not work or allow me to logon to Oracle? Call the Technical Assistance Center (TAC) at 972.925.5630. If you have already called them and what they told you to do still does not work, call them again and let them know what happened. They will be able to solve your problem.

  • I would like to enroll in an event but I do not know the event code or I do not have a hard copy of the Summer catalog. What can I do? Go to our Professional Development and Staff Training website and download the catalog for teachers or paraprofessionals or central or campus administrators.

  • My principal or supervisor got a letter saying that I was a No Show to an event. What should I have done? Be sure to logon to Oracle and under Training Services choose Cancel an Enrollment before the class begins. This allows others to take that enrollment space.

  • I registered for an event but it stated on the enrollment status in my training history that I was WAITLISTED. What does that mean? That means that you are not registered and you cannot attend the class as a walk-in. This feature of Oracle allows the system to waitlist you, and if a staff member cancels their enrollment prior to the 3 days before the event, Oracle automatically moves the next person to that event. Update: the term "WAITLISTED" has been changed to "NOT ENROLLED" to make sure everyone understands that waitlist status means that you are not enrolled and are not eligible to attend class.

  • How will I know that my WAITLISTED or NOT ENROLLED status has changed to Enrolled? You will not know if you do not get an email of confirmation or if you do not check your training history before the day of the class.

  • I never get emails of confirmation from Oracle when I register, etc. What can I do? Check your training history online the day before the class.
