Create Advising Note for Individual Advisee

Advising notes can be created for an individual advisee or for multiple advisees at one time.  Draft notes must be edited, saved as a new draft, or posted within two business days or they will be automatically posted to the student's educational record. Once a note has been posted, it cannot be edited. A subsequent note must be entered for further comments.

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