Follow-up on Comments

Similar to marking a Comment on a student's record as "Critical", you can now mark a Comment on a student's record for "Follow-up". Advisors experience great demands on their time and attention, and it can be difficult to keep track of the various students who require follow-up. With the new Follow-up feature for Comments in the Advisement Database, you can set a reminder in the student's record and the system will remind you on the date you specify.

To set a follow-up reminder, just enter a Comment onto the student's record, check the "follow-up" box towards the bottom of the Comment screen and enter the date you would like to receive the follow-up reminder. Once the Comment is saved, the Follow-up Flag icon will be turned on in the student's record.

You will be able to search the Student List for all students with a pending Follow-up Flag set by you. On the date you have specified for follow-up, you will receive a system email including the student information and the text of the previously saved Comment. Once the date of follow-up have passed, the Follow-up Flag will be turned off for that student.
