Setting up Instructor/Advisor Table

The Instructor/Advisor Table allows you to authorize instructors to teach courses within an Academic Organization. When you have a new instructor teaching in your department, you will need to activate them on the Instructor/Advisor Table (an EmplID must already be assigned by HR). This process must be completed for the instructor to be assigned on the Meetings tab when a course is being scheduled.

Navigation: Curriculum Management > Instructor/Advisor Information > Instructor/Advisor Table

1. Enter search criteria to help identify the appropriate instructor. (Figure 25: Search.)
2. Click the Search button.
3. Depending upon the criteria you entered, you may have to choose from a list of results displayed at the bottom of the screen. (Figure 26: Instructor/Advisor Table.)
4. Enter an Effective Date. Make sure the Effective Date matches the standard date for the beginning of the first semester the instructor will teach. (Refer to table)
5. Use the Instructor Type dropdown to select the title which best describes the instructor's position.
6. Enter "SACST" for the Academic Institution.
7. Enter the Primary Acad Org. This value identifies the primary org associated with the instructor; use the magnifying glass to look up the value if necessary.
8. Make sure the Advisor checkbox is checked. This option allows individual students to be linked to the instructor for advising purposes.

Effective Fall 2009, departments will no longer need to maintain the information entered in the Instructor/Advisor Role section. A script has been developed to update this information which is run periodically.

11. You have now finished entering data on the Instructor/Advisor Table tab. Click the Approved Courses tab at the top of the page. (Figure 27: Approved Courses tab.)

Now you need to identify the area(s) in which the instructor can teach courses.

12. Enter the Academic Org on the blank row. Use the magnifying glass to look up this value if necessary.

Note: Because our campus is authorizing instructors by Academic Org instead of individual course, you will only need to fill in the Academic Org value.

13. Click the plus (+) button to add any additional rows and repeat the instructions above to enter course information.
14. Click the Save button when you are finished entering all course data.

Effective Dates

SACST has decided to use the following effective dates to represent when courses will begin and end as they relate to terms:

Term	Begin Date	End Date
Winter	01/01/XX	01/14/XX
Spring	01/15/XX	05/14/XX
Summer	05/15/XX	07/31/XX
Fall	08/01/XX	12/31/XX

Updating & Inactivating Instructor Information

When an instructor's information changes you will need to update the Instructor/Advisor Table. Never type over existing effective dates (unless you are using Correct History mode to change incorrect data). Instead, insert a new effective dated row. In general, updating and inactivating this instructor information is optional but this process must be completed when an instructor is being authorized to teach in a new Academic Organization.

3. Click the Save button to complete the process.
