The Relationship of Advising to SACSCOC Accreditation
As advising is a key to student success, so too is it a key to accreditation. In this workshop, the presenter will discuss the relationship of advising to accreditation. Specific SACSCOC standards will be identified where advising plays a key role in maintaining accreditation. In particular, the importance of assessing advising will be addressed as part of a successful reaffirmation of accreditation.
Graduate advisors are invited to submit questions in advance to graduate.studies@uta.edu.

MyMav Training
As an advisor, you will most likely need to use MyMav, the University’s student information system. All the pertinent information about a student, including demographic data, registration, grades, financial aid, tuition and fees, and degree plan requirements is housed in MyMav. (The MyMav Tutorials for Faculty page provides guidance for new users.)
You will need to get access to areas not necessarily needed by other faculty members. To get access to the areas of MyMav necessary for advisors, your Department Chair should contact the OIT Help Desk on your behalf to request access to the screens necessary for advising. Also, make sure to attend GMAP training.
