Advising Status • Not Registered – student has not yet registered for any course • Changed – waiting for student’s action, i.e. student registered for some courses, but has not sent the schedule for approval yet • Pending – student sent the schedule for approval to the advisor; the advisor is required to check the schedule, then either approve or deny it. • Approved – the student’s schedule has been approved by the advisor • Denied – the student’s schedule has been denied by the advisor
Processing of Schedule Approval Request • Find the students with the Pending status in the advisees’ list • Double click on such a student to see the enrolled courses • If the enrolled courses • fit the student’s degree plan, click Approve • do not fit the student’s degree plan, click Deny, and provide a reason.
Pending Registration • Students who are taking a pre-requisite in the current term • Registration for an upper-level course is recorded with Pending status • After the final grades have been posted, students are either dropped from or added to the course that’s been registered as pending • Pending registration is counted into the credits enrolled until it’s checked
