Advisors! Update your Program Listings

As the new academic year approaches, it's time to ensure that your program finder database is up-to-date. Many program changes have been made by all providers and whether you use Terra Dotta or Horizons or another listing technology, now is the time to push through those updates on your end.

Help is at hand! Since most advisors use Terra Dotta to display study abroad programs on your site for students, we've put together a quick guide as to how you all can update your listings - so your students receive accurate information.

In order to publish program updates in the Terra Dotta Directory, you will need to log into the admin area and navigate to the section titled Updates to Sponsored Programs. Terra Dotta provides the following steps, which you can view in more detail on their support site.

1. You will see the number of updates that have been published by providers and then you must click the Click here to review updates link to see detailed information.
2. You will be brought to a list of programs that have updates. Click the magnifying glass to see the changes. You can update the programs individually and choose exactly what information you would like to update by marking the appropriate boxes.
3. You can do a batch update of programs by marking the boxes by the program names and then marking the boxes below to indicate what information you want to update. Click Install Marked Updates to make the changes.
4. Click Decline Marked Updates for any updates that you do not wish to install - this will remove the update notification from your list of new updates.

Hopefully, this will make life easier for you, advisors, and your students.
