Updating the Student Advisor page

Because students may have advisers from multiple departments, there are a couple of things to keep in mind when updating the Student Advisor page to ensure you don’t overwrite other departments’ adviser data.

First, remember that ALL adviser updates require a new effective date row be added to the top portion of the page.

Before proceeding with updates to the lower portion of the page, consider whether you are replacing an adviser with a new one or if you are adding an additional adviser.

• If REPLACING an adviser, you may simply overwrite the old adviser with the new one in the lower portion of the page. 
• If ADDING an adviser to the list of existing advisers, you must add a row in the lower section of the page for the additional adviser, leaving the earlier adviser rows intact.
