Advisors have access to the Advisor Center as well as transactional pages within the SIS to perform their various duties. The Advisor Center is a portal within the Student Information System that provides you a modified view of what students see when they log in to the SIS. It serves as an online one-stop shop to access a student’s schedule of classes, advisors, holds, course history, unofficial transcript, and more. Transactional pages are typically used for processing types of activities.
Training materials and how-to guides are posted below to help advisors find information and complete key processes in the SIS. As new functions and processes become available, we will continue to publish new training materials.
