Faculty/Staff Visual Advisor
Welcome to Visual Advisor!
This site has been created to assist you, and your advisees, in streamlining the advising process. If the students do their homework, they should present you with a planned program of study. Please check over their plan of study and ensure that prerequisites will be met and that the student can complete the program when desired.
Remind your advisees that they are responsible for their program of study, but that you will assist them, as needed. Of course, it would be best if you could convince your BA Major advisees to request an advisor from the Business Administration department.
The following process mirrors the process documented for students who have either declared a Major in Business Administration or are considering a Major in Business Administration. Please familiarize yourself with the following steps and tools involved so that you can accurately advise these candidates.
We ask the students to complete the following steps in order to prepare effectively for pre-registration/registration:
- Go to "Elon OnTrack", click on the link for "Degree Audit" under Student Quick Links, log in with your username and password, and print out your degree audit. Return to this page when you have your degree audit.
- Once you have access to your current degree audit, you may find it helpful to review your program requirements as contained in the catalog (for the year you entered Elon). You can also access your Business Administration Major checksheet using the link provided on the Academic Advising Web site ( Elon University: Academic Advising). It may also be helpful to view the Recommended Course Sequence Diagram ( Recommended Course Sequence) to determine which courses are prerequisite to the courses you want to take. The Course Sequence Diagram is a planning tool and is based on the 2002-2003 Catalog -- your catalog requirements may vary.
- Using your current degree audit, make a note of those classes that you need to complete in the coming terms. The current Schedule of Classes provided by the Registrar's office will show you the courses that are available for the coming term. You might want to highlight the classes you need to take.
- Print a "Planned Program of Study" sheet ( Planned Program of Study). Return to this page when you have printed out a blank plan.
- With your list of required courses (from Step 3), plan out a program of study for your remaining terms. Pay attention to course prerequisites (the arrows on the "Recommended Course Sequence" indicate which course must precede/follow courses).
- Take your anticipated plan of study and discuss it with your advisor.
- Fill out your pre-registration/registration forms, obtain the appropriate signatures, and proceed to register via
