Faculty Center - Advisor Center
Overview
Faculty and instructors who also have assigned advisees in the Student Information System (SIS) have access to the Advisor Center in addition to the Faculty Center.The Advisor Center is used most often by those who have a formal advising role with graduate or professional students. Those who have a formal undergraduate advising role as part of their work with students are more likely to use the Advising Gateway as their primary advising tool.
FERPA Note: Before accessing a student's academic information available in Advisor Center, faculty and instructors should evaluate whether they have a legitimate educational interest, under FERPA, to do so. In general, the Faculty Center tab should be referenced for instructional purposes and the Advisor Center should be accessed for advising purposes.
