Open University student? How to gain access to SacCT.

You need to bring that form over to the University Help Desk in ARC 2005 and fill out a SacLink Database Update Form. It may take up to 24 hours before you can create a SacLink account.
- Your instructor will then need to e-mail web-courses@csus.edu
with the following information
- Student's Name and SacLink ID
