Can someone explain to me the difference between
"Grant Permission to Register" and "Review Complete?"

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 2018 - After meeting with your Advisees (the advising period began yesterday) and approving their course selections for Spring Semester 2019, you will click on "Grant Permission to Register."

January 2019 - Sometime during the first two weeks of Spring Semester 2019, you will meet again with your Advisees, review their FINAL schedules and if you approve, you will click "Review Complete." 

Note: Remember that students are assigned registration appointments based on seniority so if possible, meet with juniors and seniors first, then begin advising sophomores and first-years. 

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 the week of November 12.  

Review the October 24 INSIGHTS for steps (including screenshots) on how to use "Grant Permission to Register."  More information can be found at "Instruction Manual for Advising & Registration."
