Advisement Keys for Spring 2023

Advisement keys are assigned to students in order to enforce that they receive advisement prior to registration. The intention of an advisement key is to promote intrusive advising that involves proactive interactions between students and assigned advisors with the goal of developing a caring and beneficial 1:1 relationship. If students have an advisement key, they must receive the key (a numerical code) from their advisor. Students will be prompted to enter the key in Self-Service Banner in order to register.

The Degree Works header will indicate if the student requires a key.  “Advisement Key Yes” will be displayed. 

Advisement keys for Spring 2023 are now placed on student records.  The following populations will require an advisement key:

  1. Health professions CL_ _/DA_ _/DH_ _/NU_ _/RA_ _/SG_ _ program students (all codes that start with those letters)
  2. SUNY Online attribute coded students
  3. Undeclared - LA01 students (LA01 appears at the major level in Banner)
  4. Students with a GPA below 2.0
  5. NEW All students with a LAS pathway (LAS1-LAS7 code appears at Pathway level in Banner)

An advisement key should never be given out to students in the CL_ _/DA_ _/DH_ _/NU_ _/RA_ _/SG_ _ or SUNY Online programs.  Please refer students directly to their assigned advisor for assistance with advisement and registration.

All other students with an advisement key should be given the numerical code after an advisement session. 

To find an advisement key in Self-Service Banner, go to Faculty Services, Student Information Menu, View Advisement Key.  Make sure you are in the Spring 2023 term.

Any questions regarding advisement keys, please feel free to contact Sally Dingee. 

Remember, advisors can find additional advising-related information in the Online Advisor Handbook. To locate the Online Advisor Handbook, log in to myMCC, select Advisor Essentials, Online Advisor Handbook.  Advisement key directions are also posted there.
