Section A - Academic Management at Palm Beach State

Introduction

This “how-to” reference manual is your guide to academic management at Palm Beach State. It includes all of the important policies and procedures, and “how-to” manuals on using the PantherNet administrative computer system.

Future sections will be added as needed. Sections A, B, G, H, I, J, K, L, M and N are reference materials, while sections C, D, E and F are hands-on training manuals. In order to fully utilize these training materials and references, you should have already attended a basic PantherNet training session offered through Human Resources.

The first part of Section A will present a brief overview of PantherNet screens that will act as information sources; however, the information on these screens cannot be updated by you.

• Faculty Credentialing
