Advise Students

Advise Students is one of two areas within Transferology® Lab from which schools can manage information supplied by prospective students via Request Information

In this article:

Overview

When exploring transfer options within Transferology®, a student can Request Information from a school. All student requests are copied or routed to Recruit Students within Transferology®  Lab. If the student requested Advising or Program information, the request is also copied/routed to Advise Students.

The Advisor role is required to access Advise Students. Within this area of the Lab, the staff member can track whether the student has been provided with guidance.

In the Transferology Lab:

  1. Go to Advising & Recruiting.
  2. Select Advise Students.

The majority of this page is table-formatted student information. Advisors may filter this information or export it. Student information is contained within two tabs:

  1. Needs Advising
  2. Done Advising

The Advisor may toggle between tabs to track student progress throughout the advisement process.

Needs Advising

The Needs Advising tab (default) provides information listings for students currently needing advisement. Many of the text fields and buttons on the Needs Advising tab are hyperlinks:
