Manage Draft Advising Notes

An advising note can be saved as a draft so that it can be edited later.  A note in a draft state can be edited within two business days before it will be automatically posted to the student's educational record.  Each time a draft note is edited and saved, the clock is reset.  A note can also be deleted while in draft form.  Once a note has been posted to the student's record, it cannot be edited or deleted.

See the Guidelines for KSIS Advising Notes for guidance and best practices on drafting and managing advising notes in KSIS.
