Advising Cycles Process
Important
Information and features vary according to the roles to which you belong and the permissions associated with those roles. For more information, contact your module manager or your campus support team.
Advising cycles define advising milestones such as setting up when an advisor is available to meet with their advisees and the period of time when those meetings will end for a selected catalog year. This process keeps advisors and students engaged and Advising Module Managers aware of progress.
Advising cycles are associated with year/terms or subterms and web registration groups (also called tel/web groups and registration control groups) to determine when advisors and appropriate advisees meet within the registration time frame (advising cycles provide great flexibility and can take place before or during your registration period).
Academic Advising Module Managers set the advising cycles up and monitor advisors and their advising student interactions as they step through the process.
Tip
Did you know that you can configure select groups of students to have permission to edit their academic plans in the Campus Portal? This can save a lot of time meeting with students. If desired, it can be set up to require the advisor to approve the changes, or not. A System Administrator will need to do the setup.
