  • Advisee List
    • A new 'Risk' column was added to the Advisee List grid. Icons in the 'Risk' column reflect the student's degree of risk for degree completion based on EAB's analysis of the student's academic records using a proprietary predictive model.  
    • Icon colors reflect different degrees of student risk: green (low), yellow (moderate), and red (high).
    • Risk icons are actionable:
      • Hovering over a risk icon displays the number of student notifications in the EAB Student Success Collaborative (SSC) Advisor Platform.
      • Clicking on a risk icon opens a new window that displays the student's home page in the EAB SSC Advisor Platform.  Note: Training is required to access the EAB SSC Advisor Platform.  Contact Dr. Steve Dandaneau (dandaneau@ksu.edu) for more information.

      • Risk - Corresponds to the EAB student risk analysis.  Filter options include: All, High, Moderate, Low, Unknown, and Blank.
      • Notifications - Corresponds to the number of student notifications in the EAB SSC Advisor Platform.  Filter options range from 0 to 30.
  • Student detail pages - Common area
    • The student risk icon was added to the right of the student's name and is actionable (see the Advisee List section above for types of actions).
    • If the student has completed a FERPA non-disclosure, the FERPA hold icon (window shade) will appear next to the student risk icon. 
    • Note: Additional icons will be added in a future release, e.g., Advisor hold, negative service indicator, and positive service indicator.
