Using Action Items in Self Service (How-to)

Action Items are tasks assigned to you for completion in Self Service. Students, faculty, and staff can all have Action Items assigned in order to alert you to a task. Some Action Items will prevent you from accessing a Self Service page until they are completed. For example, students will be required to complete a Student Financial Responsibility Agreement for each term before they are able to view their schedule or register for courses.
