This page outlines how advisors are assigned to MSRED students.
Before the Academic Year begins, students must be assigned to an advisor:
- Match students and advisors based on students' resume & statement of objectives as closely as possible.
- For the past few years, we have polled the incoming class to ask for their advisor preferences (top 3 choices)
- Using that information, assign advisors while keeping assignments even across all advisors.
- Log in to: Assign Academic Advisors/Registration Officers to Students
- You will need to request authorization to view this site. See Helpful Links page for more information.
- Under "Select the Effective Term," select the current term and then select "Change Term."
- Select "RED.M" and then "Find Students."
- Begin typing the advisor's name in the comment box on the right, which will auto-populate with options.
- Select the correct faculty member, and move on to the next line.
- Once all students on a page have been assigned, select "Save Assignments" before moving on to the next page.
An advisor must be assigned in this system so that the advisor can view and approve student registrations.
Note that a student's academic advisor is not necessarily that student's thesis advisor.
