An Advising Note is a descriptive summary of what occurred during a meeting or interaction between an advisor and an advisee in relation to their academic success at the university. Advising Notes are written by advisors to represent the student’s historical advising record, which enables another person to continue providing advising or take over a student’s Advising Case. Notes should not include:
-
Information a student would not be expected to view.
-
Highly sensitive information.
Status of Notes from Old Systems
