FAQ

General Questions

Q: What is the Advisor Services channel (and particularly the Advising Student Profile) replacing?

A: Nothing is being removed from My Missouri State. You can access everything you could before and more. The channels have been divided into "Faculty Services”, “Advisor Services”, and “Faculty and Advisor Resources” in order to provide better organization of the web links used by each group. This is an additional resource for advisors and students.

Q: What is different between the student version and advisor version of the Advising Student Profile?

A: The links on the left navigation bar are different. Students are able to reach some of the basic student information menu features, while faculty and advising staff are able to reach a variety of useful advising resources.

Q: Where is the My Missouri State Advisee List? It's not in the student Information channel anymore.

A: It has been moved to the new Advisor Services channel. It has the same information has before, the link just moved to be grouped with other advisor resources

Q: My advisee list in My Missouri State is different than my advisee list in the Advising Student Profile? Which should I use?

A: The new advisee list in the Advisee Search does not contain many of the filtering capabilities that are included in the My Missouri State advisee list, so you are encourage to continue using the traditional list for standard usage. The Advising Student Profile > Advisee Listing version does contain student pictures should that feature be helpful to you.

Q: Most of the information in the Advising Student Profile does not appear different to me. What’s new about it?

A: “Admit Term” refers to the student’s semester of admission (or readmission) to Missouri State.

Q: Are there differences in the information that students see versus advisors and faculty?
