 Since our students also have access to what we input into “Advising Notes,” I would only “stick to the facts” but definitely address the personal issues in private during the advising session, and refer them to our Counseling Services if need be.~ Jane Parr, academic advisor, Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis, November 4, 2008 We place advising notes in two places, on the system and in a file in the office. The notes on the system can be viewed by any employee, so I stick to the facts. However, the notes in their file are only viewed by our advising center, so I will write down important information about their state of being.~ Brandy Ellis, academic advisor, Texas A&M University–Commerce, November 4, 2008 I feel that if the advising notes at our institution are viewable by other university staff (even if they are all advisers) then we should just stick to the facts. If we include personal information in advising notes that can be viewed by many we are breaching the students' privacy.~ Richard Brungard, advising program coordinator, Penn State World Campus, November 11, 2008 Clearly . . . facts.~ Kara Lattimer, academic/career advisor, Virginia Tech, November 24, 2008 Our note system can be viewed by any staff in our office. We have both public notes and private notes. If I enter private notes, no one else can see them. On the few occasions when I have entered something into the private note section, I have tried to write my observations/concerns as objectively as possible. My general notes stick to the facts.~ LynneMarie Szymanski, career specialist–advising, Lake Washington Technical College, November 26, 2008 The Mentor is published by Penn State's Division of Undergraduate Studies Available online at www.psu.edu/dus/mentor/ Privacy and Legal Statements | Copyright | © The Pennsylvania State University | All rights reserved | |
