Updating career pointers (SHATCKN)

Career pointers refer to the level to which a course applies. We can change the level to which a course points or we can change a course such that it simultaneously applies to two levels.

Pointers can only be updated in SHATCKN once the grade has posted.

We receive career pointers via form (4+1 dual credit approval form) or formatted spreadsheet.

Career pointers are updated in SHATCKN. Before updating, confirm the course number, CRN, and semester taken, which can be done in SHACRSE.

1. In SHATCKN, enter the ID and term the course was taken. Go.

   

2. You will see a list of courses taken in that semester. Click to select the course needing the pointer change.

   

3. Next block twice to the Level block.

   1. If adding a level (“double pointing”), enter the level and Save.

      

   2. If changing the level, uncheck the primary level indicator box and Save. Add the new level and select as Primary and Save. Remove the incorrect level and Save.

Changing the level of a course applying to a previously awarded degree
