Best Practices

Creating a "fillable form" using Adobe Acrobat? Be aware that Acrobat 8 Professional ships with Adobe LiveCycle Designer, an application used to create advanced PDF forms. The learning curve for this software is quite steep, so we suggest you only use it if you're creating complicated forms. For most forms, use the Acrobat forms tools, available from the Advanced Editing menu in Acrobat. See the workshop handout, Adobe Acrobat: Introduction, for help getting started with basic PDF forms.

News

  • SacCT Self-Service Tool Now Available

    The SacCT Self-Service tool is available for use by any Sac State faculty to activate a course for use in SacCT and to enable student enrollments. You must have a saclink account to use this tool.

  • Navigation Error in Internet Explorer 8

    If you receive an error in Internet Explorer 8 that states, "navigation to the webpage was canceled", the browser attempted to display content from a non-secure server - a site outside SacCT where you do not need to login. To correct this error, you have two choices: option 1, click 'no' when prompted again to display all content; and option 2, edit your security settings in the browser. Click the following links to view the Navigation Error text tutorial or the Navigation Error Flash-based tutorial.

New to SacCT?

With SacCT Self-Service, faculty can personally set up their own SacCT course(s), add content, and enroll students at their own convenience.

Once you have a course, download the SacCT: Quick Start handout (PDF file) for quick set-up assistance. Additional handouts (including how-to-guides and our SacCT training manual) are located on the Handouts page. SacCT workshops (for faculty and staff) are offered each semester!

Don’t forget your students! Students are not automatically given access to your SacCT courses. Before each semester begins, and after you’ve prepared your SacCT course for your students, enable student enrollments using SacCT Self-Service.

SacCT Self-Service will not work for courses that are NOT listed in PeopleSoft nor will it work for cross-listed courses. For courses that are not listed in PeopleSoft, you may use the Course Request form. For all Cross-Listed courses or courses in which you would like to combine multiple sections, you must submit the new Cross-Listed Request form.

Need HELP? Assistance is readily available, be it via phone, email, or in-person (see the Help section in the left navigation area).
