WebAdvisor sends an email when “permission to register” is granted for a class that you have been waitlisted for.

  10. Search for Classes Web Advisor Term information is required. Use the drop down box to select the appropriate term. If you do not choose a subject, you will view the entire list of classes for the term. It is important to enter the location of the class you are looking for or you will get a list of several locations.

  11. Grades • Web Advisor To view the grades for the appropriate term, click the mouse where it indicates to “Choose One” and then “Submit”

  12. Transcript • Web Advisor When a checkmark appears in the “Repeat” column, it means you repeated the course. The last grade given for a repeated course is the grade calculated in your GPA. Listed, in order of the term taken, are the completed and in-progress courses. Those courses with no grade given are considered “in-progress” courses. Also listed are the total credits earned, total grade points and the cumulative GPA.

  13. My Class Schedule • Web Advisor Use this screen to view your schedule. You can also view the course description by double clicking on the course number and title. Meeting information that shows “ONLN” and/or “NET” indicate that this class is taught over the internet. This student will need to use Blackboard to participate in the class. Other pertinent information is the start date for the class.

  14. My Profile • Web Advisor Use this screen to verify that your name is spelled correctly and that we have your current address, phone number, and email account. Equally important is making sure your advisor and academic program is correct. This is needed in order for you to access your educational plan and for your advisor to help you with registration. If there is a discrepancy, please contact the Records and Registration Office.

  15. Address Change • Web Advisor To update your address, please use “Address Change” in WebAdvisor. Notice the Effective Start and Effective End dates. Use these dates to end a current address and begin the new address. Keep in mind, these dates cannot overlap. For example, You are moving August 15 into your new house. Your old address would show an “Effective End” date of August 15 and your new address would show an “Effective Start” date of August 16. You can also update your phone number and email address on this screen as well. Again, the “Effective Start/End” dates are important and should not overlap.
