1. welcome

The Georgia Tech Academic Advisors Network (GTAAN) defines advising as a developmental process in which we guide students through their educational experience to reach their full potential. In order for this process to be successful, advisors must have access to new information above campus resources and best practices in advising.

We abide by the Council for the Advancement of Standards in Higher Education (CAS) and The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).

GTAAN was created as means of improving and guiding the delivery of advising services at The Georgia Institute of Technology. A primary goal is to provide academic advisors:

• Professional development
• Peer support
• Network of resources to enhance student success
• Communication with the larger university community

GTAAN has a facilitator that is a direct link to the Vice Provost of Undergraduate Studies so that we are connected with the campus mission as well as a conduit for us to get information to the administration.

3. expectations of advisors

Our goal is to give quick access to the information that you need to know about Tech. This is intended to be a guide to resources that can be accessed on an as needed basis.

3.1 advising necessities

By "Necessities" we are saying that these are aspects of advising at Georgia Tech that you should know backward and forward. Faculty and students will expect you to be the resource on all the topics below. For each area we give you some background and links to details.

3.1.1 the school/major

As an advisor in a department or College, you are expected to know all the components within your department. Below we outline some of the key areas with ideas for getting up to speed quickly.

3.1.1.1 overall program

You will want to know in detail about these programs in your department/college:

• Majors
• Minors
• Certificates
• Study abroad programs

As a starting point to learning about these go to your department/college's current web site.

(Note - you may later want to make changes to this web site based on how clear the information was to you - that is also the source for all prospective and current faculty and students.)

3.1.1.2 student body

One way to learn some about the students in your department/college is to look up any student:

• Groups
• Clubs
• Associations

These should also be on your department/college website [http://www.gatech.edu/colleges-schools/].

Other helpful things to know:

• The number of students
• Gender breakdown
• Coop numbers
• Other demographics

These can all be found on AFACTS

Directions to this information:

In AFACTS, go to the "Student Query" folder. Run the "Student Data File for Delimited Exporting" report and export it to Excel data only. You can sort by year, gender, GPA, ethnicity, and many other factors. This just allows you to get a sense for the total number of students the general student body make up of your department/college.

3.1.2 advising tools

These are computer based tools for advising. They include software for entering and accessing student information, as well as software for students to schedule appointments with you.

3.1.2.1 banner (data entry)

Banner is an administrative software package developed by SunGard SCT for use in higher education. Banner is used at Georgia Tech to maintain student, alumni, financial aid, and human resources data. Banner is the software that is used to enter permits, holds, overloads, schedules, and other student related data.

Full time Georgia Tech employees who need to have access to Banner in order to perform their job responsibilities must have the official requester in their department send a request, on their behalf, using the Banner request website. If approved for access, the employee will be notified by email regarding the procedure for obtaining their user ID and password.

3.1.2.2 afacts (getting data)

Advising and Faculty Access to Students (AFACTS) is the software used by Georgia Tech to extract student data information such as classrolls, transcripts, admissions listings, and many other such reports. There are directions and information at the AFACTS home page. To get access to AFACTS, you go through the same route as for Banner access.

3.1.2.3 degree audit

Curriculum, Advising and Program Planning (CAPP) is Georgia Tech's current on-line degree audit system. However, it is not currently properly programmed for all majors, and we are anticipating moving to a new degree audit system that is not only more user friendly, but will also allow us to keep the requirements up to date.

In general, the degree auditing systems are advising tools designed to help students track their progress towards graduation. The system list the specific requirements for graduation and shows whether the requirements have been satisfied and which ones are still pending. Students can use this system to track progress toward a degree or perform a "what-if" scenario prior to making a change in major. This report is what the registrar can use to verify that all requirements have been met for graduation.

3.1.2.4 advising website

At the advising web site a student can look up advisors for any major, minor, certificate, pre-professional area, and others. We keep a data base that has all the advisors' latest contact information. To keep this updated we use a login only program. This program is also an appointment scheduler.

Every advisor should login to make sure their contact information is correct. Once logged in advisors can also put in a comment that will show up when a student looks them up. The default assumption and goal is that all advisors will use the appointment scheduler.Students and advisors have found online scheduling to be extremely helpful.

However, if you choose not to use it there is a box to check at your contact info when you login. By checking this box it will prevent students from being sent into the scheduler to make an appointment with you only to find a completely blank calendar. If you do not wish to use this scheduler, but you have your own, simply check the box that you are not using this one, and put the URL to your own scheduler in the space below. Now students will be automatically sent to your scheduler to make an appointment.

3.1.2.5 student academic services professional development program (saspdp)

This program is joint with GTAAN and the Office of Organizational Development (OOD). This is a set of several workshops to develop as an advisor. Please see the GTAAN website for more details.

3.1.3 advising resources

3.1.3.1 gtaan

Georgia Tech's Academic Advising Network (GTAAN) was created as means of improving and guiding the delivery of advising services at The Georgia Institute of Technology. A primary goal is to provide academic advisors:

• Communication with the larger university community.

There are monthly workshops, a certificate program, and many other advising resources. Advisors can enter and view announcements here as well.

3.1.3.2 list of advisors and contact information

Advisor information is kept live in an online database. You can access a spreadsheet of all advisors for majors, minors and certificates.

3.1.4 registration

3.1.4.1 schedule of classes

View classes offered for a designated semester.

3.1.4.2 oscar

On-Line Student Computer Assisted Registration (OSCAR) is what we call our self-service BANNER. Students login here to register, advisors login to view the degree audit, and you can also find the listing of all classes to be offered each semester, complete registration information and times and meeting places of classes, and calendar information.

3.1.4.3 overloads and permits

When a class is full, students can request an overload in order to get into the class they need.Often majors will hold back spaces, or as students change their schedules, such as for math, the department can shuffle students based on their requests. Often this is an option in OSCAR when the student registers. If it is not, there is a list of contacts for requests.

Permits are needed for some classes that have restrictions. The method for requesting permits is the same as that described above for overloads.

3.1.4.4 pass/fail rules

There is a limit to how many courses a student can take Pass/Fail. Furthermore, majors can restrict which courses students are allowed to take Pass/Fail.

3.1.4.5 cross enrollment

Cross-enrollment is a procedure to allow Georgia Tech students to take a course that is not offered at Tech at another institution while simultaneously enrolled in courses at Georgia Tech. Applications and further information are available.

3.1.4.6 transient student

A transient student refers to a student temporarily taking courses at one school while being enrolled at another. So, for example, Georgia Tech students who want to take summer courses near their home rather than at Tech, need to apply to that school as a transient student. Forms and more info are available at the registrar's website.

3.1.4.7 drop/add

Students can drop and add courses during open registration periods. However, after the first week of classes, there are restrictions and rules to dropping courses and withdrawing.

Starting Fall 2005, first-time freshman students who receive a grade of D or F in a course within their first two terms in residence are eligible to repeat the course and apply for grade substitution to have the original grade excluded from the computation of academic average as calculated by Georgia Tech. If a student begins in a summer term, this term does NOT count as the first of his/her 2 terms in residence.

3.1.5.1.2 academic standing

Academic standing is based on both the Term GPA and the Overall GPA. GPA required for "Good" standing varies by class standing. Negative consequences occur when students are not in good standing.

3.1.5.2 progress reports

Progress report grades will be submitted to the Registrar on all classes numbered 1000 and 2000 each term. Progress report grades will be S or U (a grade of U indicates that based on work completed to that point the student's standing is in the D or lower range).These are only used for advising purposes and are not calculated into the student's GPA.

3.1.5.2.1 workshops

Every term workshops on academic success, time management, and other related topics are offered to support students who are getting U's in their classes.

3.1.5.2.2 email

Many advisors email their advisees who receive U's as midterm grades and ask students to schedule a meeting to discuss their academic progress and resources available. Email is used frequently to communicate with advisees.

3.1.5.3 readmission

3.1.5.3.1 from two semester absence

A student, who for any reason has remained out of school for two or more consecutive terms, must apply for readmission.

3.1.5.3.2 from academic drop

A student who has been academically dismissed/dropped once for unsatisfactory grades must remain out of school for at least one term. The student must also submit a completed readmission application, petition to the faculty, and readmission contract. Different Colleges and Schools have certain stipulations regarding students on drop: how long they must sit out and/or if they will be readmitted back to the College/School after being dismissed/dropped.

3.1.5.3.2.1 contract

A student who is readmitted signs a contract agreeing to devote him/her fully to studies and achieve academic success. In addition, the student agrees to take specific classes recommended by the advisor, to maintain a specific GPA, to maintain full-time status, to see the advisor before making schedule changes, etc.

3.1.5.4 degree petitions

Degree petitions are completed by the student and advisor. The student must take the completed petition to the Bursar Office and pay the Graduation fee, then submit the petition to the Registrar, usually early in the semester prior to graduation. Undergraduate degree petitions may be printed here. Graduate degree petitions may be printed here.

3.1.5.5 major change

Students are allowed one change of major before they earn 60 hours without any restriction. If students change majors more than once or after they have earned 60 hours, departments may impose restrictions on academic standing, GPA, etc. You may access the Major Change form here.

3.1.5.8 petitions to the faculty

A "Petition to the Faculty" may be filed by a student when asking for an exception to an Institute rule or policy. Some examples of exception requests include to withdraw from school past the deadline; to be readmitted after being placed on DROP status; and to take a class at another university when within 36 hours of graduation.

3.1.5.9 examination for advanced standing

Students who offer satisfactory evidence that they are qualified to do so may receive credit for a course by examination for advanced standing. This requires the recommendation of the department of instruction in which the course is offered, payment of the appropriate fee to the Bursar's Office and authorization by the Registrar. Students normally take this exam during Finals week and they receive a grade of S or U.
