Faculty Advisor Training
Faculty Advisor Training developed for a position that I occupied within the Fashion Design Program at The Fashion Institute of Technology. Prior to this learning module, there was no formal introduction to this position and its responsibilities.
This brief training module in advising the non-traditional evening/weekend student was created to minimize errors in course registration.

Project Scope:
This is the first of four lessons that collectively will take approx. 60 minutes to complete:
1. Lesson 1: Identifying the programs, their prerequisites and sequencing.
2. Lesson 2: Performing a degree audit where applicable.
3. Lesson 3: Recognizing restricted courses and their protocol.
4. Lesson 4: Administering Add/Drop Forms.
Background/Need for Course:
-
Audience: Candidates who can run for this position are Faculty ONLY.

No formal training is currently being offered to the candidate voted into this position.
-
Training Goal: Introduce faculty to the responsibilities of the position and to ultimately streamline the student class registration process.
