Hello.  In this tutorial I am going to show you 

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.000
how to create advising notes in the Wolf 

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.000
Connection System.

00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:17.000
To create advising notes, first you must access 

00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:17.000
WCS by clicking on the blue and white WCS 

00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:17.000
button on your Portal landing page.

00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:24.000
From the WCS homepage you can access the 

00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:24.000
student's profile by clicking on their name from 

00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:24.000
the list of advisees,

00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:33.000
if they are indeed your advisee, or you can 

00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:33.000
search for the student by clicking on the 

00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:33.000
magnifying glass icon at the top right of your 

00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:35.000
screen.

00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:49.000
You can search by the students name, 

00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:49.000
Vnumber, or WOU email.

00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:65.000
Once on the student's profile page, under the 

00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:10.000
You may select one or multiple reasons for the 

00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:10.000
appointment.  

00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:19.000
And If you spoke to a student via telephone, 

00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:19.000
you can add the telephone reasons in 

00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:19.000
addition to the reason for the conversation.

00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:26.000
You can also select a course if the meeting is 

00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:26.000
associated with a specific class.

00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:33.000
Make sure the date of the visit is correct, and 

00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:33.000
choose the appropriate location.

00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:40.000
For faculty and staff, simply choose the 

00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:48.000
As a shortcut, feel free to copy and paste the 

00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:48.000
arrived time into the departed time and then 

00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:48.000
simply edit it to reflect when the meeting 

00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:62.000
concluded.

00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:07.000
Then, add your advising notes.

00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:11.000
Keep in mind advising notes should be factual 

00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:11.000
and academic in nature.

00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:15.000
Refrain from adding personal or sensitive 

00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:15.000
information the student might have shared 

00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:15.000
with you. 

00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:22.000
If the student is struggling due to personal 

00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:22.000
reasons, simply state 'Jonny noted that he has 

00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:22.000
been struggling due to personal family issues.

00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:30.000
I recommended he contact someone from the 

00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:30.000
student success team to weigh his options.

00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:36.000
You can also attach digital documents to the 

00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:36.000
advising report, like a PDF copy of the 

00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:36.000
student's DegreeWorks at the time you advised 

00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:38.000
the student.  

00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:45.000
This way, the student's degree audit is frozen 

00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:45.000
in time and you can reference the document 

00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:45.000
at a later date, if necessary.

00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:54.000
Lastly, click the 'Save this Report' button.

00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:64.000
You can view previous notes on the student's 

00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:64.000
profile by clicking the 'Reports and Notes' tab 

00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:64.000
under the student's name at the top of the 

00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:13.000
profile under 'Advisor Reports.

00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:31.000
Keep in mind 'Notes About Student' is not the 

00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:31.000
same as an advisor report, which is what we 

00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:31.000
just created in this tutorial. 

00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:44.000
To view previous notes, simply click on the 

00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:55.000
You can also hover your curser over the 

00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:61.000
This has been a brief tutorial on how to create 

00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:61.000
System.

00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:61.000
advising reports in the Wolf Connection 

00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:07.000
