SAAC Coordinator Testimonials
“The automated process is light-years ahead of the stacks of paper we used in the past. It’s clear and easy to track.”
“PTDs online only allow us to fill in the boxes that pertain to our role, I don’t have access to what the Academic Advisor should fill in and that’s how it should be!”
“I think that it makes all of our jobs easier because I can log in and see where the form is at any moment instead of ‘it’s in campus mail’ or I could have sworn I left that form right here!”
