  • Creates institutional memory 

  • Increases advisor efficiency and effectiveness 

  • Refreshes advisor memory prior to return visits and helps when planning next steps  

  • Communicates critical information to other college personnel 

  • Personalizes the advising experience 

Best practices for using Degree Works notes can be found in the advisor handbook: myMCC > Advisor Essentials > Online Advisor Handbook > Chapter 7: Degree Works
