For a staff or faculty member to show up as an academic advisor they must belong to the correct staff group. You can assign the staff group by following the steps below. The table below lists the staff groups that are setup as advisors. The person that submitted the request should let you know what kind of advisor the user should be. The advisor type they request could correspond to the name of the staff group, or be the actual advisor type.
