Subject: [Advising] new generic advisors and advising centers
When we've sent out the list of students with blank advisors (i.e., no advisor
assigned), the list has included three different types of active students: (1) students
who are current but who have not yet been assigned an advisor, (2) students who have
graduated and have had their previous advisor removed from SGAADVR, and (3) students who
are no longer current UTSA students, either because they've transferred elsewhere or
for some other reason. ("Active" students in Banner are those who have taken
courses at UTSA within the last calendar year, even though we might not think of them as
really active.) Until now, we have had no way of distinguishing these three types of
students. However, we now have two new generic advisors that we can apply to these
students, as appropriate:
Advising
Not Assigned
@01558600
Advising
Earned Degree
@01558601
The "Not Assigned" generic advisor should be used for students who have
permanently transferred elsewhere and do not intend to take more classes at UTSA, or for
students who ask to be removed from contact lists because they are no longer attending for
whatever reason. The "Earned Degree" generic advisor should be used for
students after they graduate from UTSA. In the future, the script we run to update the
list of graduates after the end of every semester will use the "Earned Degree"
advisor instead of assigning a blank. For both of these types of students, the Advisor
Type (= Advising Center) in SGAADVR should be NCS, "Not a Current Student".
This designation is also new. We in USSTS will go back and look at updating students who
have already graduated with the "Earned Degree" advisor, and assuming we're
able to do that, we'll let you know when it's done. In the meantime, feel free to
mark both graduates and no longer current students with the appropriate generic advisor,
and don't forget to use NCS as the Advisor Type. Make sure to check the Primary
Indicator in SGAADVR as well.
Finally, we have also created a new Advisor Type, IEP, for students in the Intensive
English Program. These students will not have an assigned advisor in SGAADVR (for now at
least), so you will be able to use the "Not Assigned" advisor for these
students, but with IEP rather than NCS as the Advisor Type.
I hope these new "advisors" and "centers" will help reduce the
confusion concerning students who currently have blank advisors and will facilitate the
assignment of advisors to students who need them. See Testy Davox's (@00010656)
record in SGAADVR for 201530 for an example.
