Who should take this course?
Anyone charged with the task of updating student data for your campus. For most institutions, this is a member of your IT team or your Handshake Point of Contact. This person will likely need to coordinate with your registrar or other departments involved with student information/data that can provide up-to-date information on your students on a regular basis. We recommend updating your student data no less than once a semester/quarter/term.
