Activating SMS Feature in my.Eskwela

my.Eskwela's concept is to be with you wherever you are and at any time. Though you can access my.Eskwela in your mobile phone through the mobile web browser (updated versions are recommended), a SMS utility is available for you just in case you  ran out load for accessing the web or you have no WiFi device to connect or simply, your mobile phone is only a feature phone (can only call, text, FM, and "flashlight").

Welcome to my.Eskwela SMS utility. With this, you can access your class card using SMS keyword. But first, you have to activate your my.Eskwela account before you can use this utility.

To start:
1. Verify your cellphone number.
           This is the first step and this is only done once. If successful, your cellphone number
           and your account are binded. To verify your cellphone number, send:

           MY.ESKWELA<SPACE><ID. NO><SPACE><my.Eskwela password>

           example:

           MY.ESKWELA  2013-1234  letmein

          you would then receive "SMS ACCOUNT CREATED" from  my.Eskwela if it was able to
          verify you.

Now that you have activated your my.Eskwela SMS account, you use any of these keywords interchangeably.


2. Make your presence known.
          If your instructor is already done with the roll call of attendance or you are late, you can
          actually make your presence known to your instructor's attendance list by sending a
          message with the format:

          ATTEND<SPACE><Course No.>

          example:        

          ATTEND ENG 1

           you would then receive a "Please wait for your instructor to confirm the attendance."
           message.  Your attendance have to be confirmed, but the good thing here is that the time
          of your arrival at the room is recorded.

3. Class Card SMS format
          To retrieve the class card for you to know the class standing, periodic grade (prelim,
          midterm, finals) and the number of times you've been absent in the class, just send a
          message following the format:

           CCARD<SPACE><Course No.>

           example:

           CCARD ACCTG 1

          sample my.Eskwela's reply would be:

          2014-1234
          DELA CRUZ, JUAN B.
          BSCS-1
