User Defaults are used throughout DukeHub/PeopleSoft to place pre-selected values into specific fields. Institution, Career, Aid Year, and Term are all fields that are commonly populated with User Default values. Since the values in the User Default pages refer to Term and Year values, it is likely you will need to update these values often.
To update your User Defaults, select the Navigation Bar icon, and select Set Up SACR > User Defaults.

User Defaults has multiple pages which can be updated. Below are examples of how these pages are commonly configured. Please note – you will need to use the values most appropriate for your needs.
User Defaults 1 – Common values include Institution, Career, and Term.

User Defaults 2 – Common values include SetID, Aid Year, Business Unit, Campus and Institution Set.
