About academic advisors
Students may be connected a maximum of four individuals that advise the student on academics, athletics, careers, finances, etc. Students, faculty and staff can see these advisors. The advisor can also be used as part of the process to restrict registration until advisor approval occurs.
You can change how the advisors are labeled in Campus Cafe. For example, your institution may want Advisor 1 to display as Academic Advisor and Advisor 2 to display as Athletic Advisor. Refer to changing the academic advisor label documentation.
