SPECIAL
CONSIDERATIONS
This data view is designed for staff who need to manage/maintain advisor assignments. The information in the data view can mean slightly different things for undergraduates and graduate students. For undergraduates, it only contains CURRENT advising assignments. When a change is made to a student’s advisor assignment, the effective date of all assignments is changed to the same effective date. This practice means that advisor data cannot be used to determine how long students have been assigned to a particular advisor. Advisor history is not maintained and all advising records are deleted when a student graduates. This practice means that the full advising history of a student is not available in this data view (and in ISIS). For graduate students, this dataview may contain both current and historical advisor assignments.
