E-Advisor Training

What is E-Advisor? E-Advisor is a supplemental feature of the Colleague

system from Datatel. E-Advisor works with the existing Degree Audit and

related functions and will enhance the advisement process between Advisors and Students.

Through this technology greater communication will occur; the Advisor can guide the student toward completion of their academic goals for a single term, multiple terms, or a complete program of study.

E-Advisor will not replace students meeting with an MTC Advisor yet will provide the essential capability to document discussions for future reference.  

E-advisor features: There will be a comments section; advisors will have access

to secure online notes Students will have a notes section where the can create notes Easy e-mail access between the advisor & the student The “WIZ-Course Wizard Planning” is tied directly to the

Program Evaluation function already in use by the college Both students & advisors can add courses to the Student’s

Plan but the Advisor can delete courses that are not part of the student’s program

Students may not register for courses that have not been approved by their advisor

E-advisor features continued: Courses are tied to a specific term

if the student doesn’t take the course in the approved term they will need to be approved for another term

This is no different than re-advising them again for the same courses for another term you just do it online

When using the “WIZ-Course Planning Wizard” the “General Electives” requirement under “Choose a Requirement” brings up every course offered by the college; avoid selecting this option when using Course Planning Wizard to plan a student’s program!

There are 2 ways to plan courses The “Course Planning Wizard Option” under

Create/Modify Plan is driven by ‘Program Evaluation’

Create a Plan is Advisor driven using catalogue, Advisement Manual, Departmental Notes & Guidelines to plan courses
