Create a Group
The KSU Advisor Center enables advisors to create and save one or more groups, which are static lists of advisees that can be tracked over time. Groups can be used as 'watch lists' of advisees and as a starting point for one or more bulk operations, e.g, run DARS report, send email, etc.
A group can also be modified and deleted after it has been created. See Modify an Existing Group and Delete a Filter or Group for details.
How to create a group:
- Login to KSIS with your eID and password at https://ksis.k-state.edu.
- Select the KSU Advisor Center from the KSIS Links on the right side of the KSIS home page.

Notes
