KSU Advising has replaced Web Scheduler to meet
growing student and advisor demands.

KSU Advising replaced Web Scheduler on June 1, 2015. Web Scheduler, a home-grown system, has been in use since 2005. It was originally created by Brian Dehoff in the College of Education, Health and Human Services for the Vacca Office of Student Services. Over the past 10 years, Web Scheduler has expanded to include 77 groups and served as a notes, referral and appointment system for advisors. KSU Advising also will serve these functions and more.

KSU Advising was created by the Division of Information Services for University Advising to meet growing student and advisor demands. It is SAS/ADA-compliant and is connected to Banner Student Data. The new system offers consistent user experience among all groups using the system.

KSU Advising offers university advising and resource offices a one-stop shop in accessing students’ history, including a 360-degree picture of students’ experiences for the faculty, staff or administrator offering them assistance. The new system also supports the university’s “Students First” vision.

The following are additional customization features that KSU Advising offers advising offices:

• Advisors can add their availability for appointments.
• Receive and send referrals to university resource offices.
• A variety of university resource offices can use the appointment feature.
• Basic Student Banner Data is viewable in students’ records.
• Multiple views and access of information throughout the software that meets more user expectations.
