Once the APRC meets to report on advising decisions, an excel file complete with the student name, ID number, assessment grades and previous term history is provided to the administrative assistant and the advising coordinator of the AAT. The administrative assistant and the coordinator create a new document and assign an advisor to each student.

The APRC sets a deadline to see students (depending on the type of advising, required meetings need to take place within five (5) working days; recommended meetings need to take place within fourteen (14) days.

Academic advisors are assigned first because the assigned students usually need more support. All students who are listed as required advising are required to meet with a DES learning strategist after they have met with an AAT member.
