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 and be listed as the instructor of record 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.

Using Self-Service

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

The SacCT course set-up is a two step process. You first create your SacCT course "shell" and then populate your course with students.

IMPORTANT: You must actually open your SacCT course shells and add content for the course to be usable by students. If you allow access before you add content, students will receive a message that states "This section is not available yet."

Watch the Self-Service video tutorial for step-by-step instructions on using the Self-Service tool. You can also download the SacCT Self-Service Help handout.

Getting Started

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

This self paced tutorial will go step by step through the three main activities required to get your course(s) ready for use. It's not necessary to complete all three sections at one time, but please remember to go in the order listed:

  1. Activate course(s)

  2. Add course content

  3. Enroll students

SacCT Course Wizard

The SacCT Course Wizard walks you through the initial steps necessary for getting your course ready for students. After you've activated your course using the Self-Service tool, you'll use the wizard to set up your course and add content. You have the option of creating a blank course, copying content from one of your exiting courses, or uploading content, such as a publisher course pack.

View the tutorial or download the SacCT Course Wizard handout for step-by-step instructions.

Deleting Courses

If you need to delete a course, please fill out and submit the Delete Course Request form. Requests are reviewed and processed Monday through Friday, typically within 2-days (except weekends, holidays and peak request times).

Cross-listed/Combined Courses

If you want to set up a cross-listed course or a single course with multiple sections, please activate all the sections using Self-Service, then fill out the Cross-Listed/Combined Course Request form. Requests are reviewed and processed Monday through Friday, typically within 2-days (except weekends, holidays and peak request times).
