WebAdvisor Help for Students

What is WebAdvisor?

WebAdvisor is the interface that allows you to access the information about your academic record through the web.

Technical Information

WebAdvisor will operate on both PCs and Macs.

On a PC - Both Internet Explorer and Firefox function completely.

On a Mac - The preferred browser is Firefox.

Please note:

• The “Time Out” for this system is approximately 15 minutes. If there is no activity for 15 minutes, the system will automatically log you off and you will have to log back into WebAdvisor for any function and re-enter data.
• While in WebAdvisor, do not use the “Back” button and the “Enter” key because they may function differently depending on your browser and PC setup. Use the “Menu” and “Submit” buttons as directed.
• Because the information contained in WebAdvisor includes your confidential student information, please be sure to LOGOUT when you have finished viewing your record.  Mac Users, See note under Technical Information
