Why am I receiving notifications for my students when they schedule appointments with other advisors?
Any advisor assigned to a student (primary, secondary, etc.) will receive notifications regarding any activity by that student within Hardrocker Success. Many advisors have created rules in Outlook and/or Gmail to automatically archive these messages
into a subfolder.
Why am I receiving notifications for students who are not assigned to me as their primary advisor?
All assigned advisees, both primary and secondary, are displayed via Hardrocker Success. In some cases, departments are removing secondary advisors to address this concern. Otherwise, many advisors have created rules in Outlook and/or Gmail to
automatically archive these messages into a subfolder.
What is the difference between an appointment summary and note?
The advising appointment summary is appropriate for documenting appointments with your students. These reports are available for student view. Notes are most appropriate for documenting email conversations, drop in appointments, and other interactions
not related to a scheduled appointment (e.g. sticky note).
How do I file an appointment summary?
From your home page (scroll down), you will see your recent appointments. Select the appointment you would like to report. Select actions > add appointment summary. It will auto populate some of the details from the scheduled appointment; however,
you should verify the arrival and departure time on the lefthand side.
Can I edit an appointment summary?
Yes. Open the appointment summary you would like to edit. The option to “Edit Report” can be found in the bottom righthand corner.
