We have heard from several advisers who are confused about the difference between "Grant Permission to Register" and "Review Complete."
"Grant Permission to Register" happens at the beginning of each advising & registration period and allows the student to register for courses when the registration period opens, while "Review Complete" comes at the end of that advising period and indicates you are approving the student's final schedule. Think of the two as the bookends of your job as an Adviser.
Here's
how it works using the upcoming advising and registration period:
October/November 2017 - After meeting with your Advisees (the advising period begins Monday, Oct. 30) and approving their course selections for Spring Semester 2018, you will click on "Grant Permission to Register."
January 2018 - Sometime during the first two weeks of Spring Semester 2018, you will meet again with your Advisees, review their FINAL schedules and if you approve, you will click "Review Complete."
Remember, if you don't properly click the "Grant Permission to Register,"
your Advisees will not be able to register for classes when their online registration period opens.
So now, let's review the process for "Grant Permission to Register" as you prepare for advising your students for Spring Semester 2018. More information can be found at "Instruction Manual for Advising & Registration."
- Once you have met with your Advisees and reviewed their course selections and schedules, you then must grant them
permission to register. To do so, start by clicking on the "Grant Permission to Register" bar in the WebAdvisor Menu as seen in the screenshot below.
