Student Advisor

One task of the student advisor is to assist the student in planning and implementing their course schedules. Advisors can assist the student from within CAMS Enterprise and also from the Faculty portal.

Set Up A User As An Advisor

  1. Create the user's account from the CAMS Enterprise Home page >CAMS Manager >Users >User Administration.
  2. A user must have an advisor associated with their user account if they are limited to helping only their advisees. Also, a user must have a faculty member associated with their account if they will help students via the faculty portal.
  3. Create a faculty member. (See the Faculty help document.)
  4. Create an Advisor in the Advisors reference lookup table.

Note: The Advisors reference table has an Active field, which must be checked for the advisor’s name to display in the advisor drop-down menu.

  1. Open the user’s account from the CAMS Enterprise Home page >CAMS Manager >Users >User Administration.
  2. Select the advisor in the Link to Advisor field. If this person will also advise a student from the faculty portal then change the User Type field to Faculty and fill in the Faculty Name field using the Lookup Faculty icon.
  3. Click Update.
