Advisor FAQ

Under FERPA, Academic Advisors have a reasonable necessity for access to their advisees’ grades. Advisors can check Banner for mid-term and final grades; in addition, if a faculty member allows, they can also see posted grades in WyoCourses. 

Academic Advisors can see all published course content and grades for ONLY their directly assigned student advisees. They are not able to see other students’ grades. 

To opt out of allowing advisor access to WyoCourses please contact the Office of the Registrar. If you choose to opt out the Office of Academic Affairs will expect that all student progress reports will be submitted in a timely manner. 

An advising shell can be requested using this form.  Advising shells are empty course shells that can be configured however you like. You will be placed in the shell with permission to add users, so you can invite all of your advisees to join your shell and set up appointments or access resources related to advising that you upload to the shell.
