Hello. Is there a way to generate a What If Report for students who are NOT among my advisees? In my position, I often advise other students who are not in my committee. I am not seeing an option under Academics to generate a What If Report based on programs these non-advisee students are considering. Thank you.

Hello Veronica! From the Advisee Student Center, to enter a student who is not assigned to you, click the Return to Search button in the lower-left section of your screen. On the Search Criteria page (for Advisee's Student Center), enter the student's EMPLID and search. On the Advisee Student Center, activate the drop-down box and choose What-If Report, and you'll land on the What-if Report Selection page. Choosing the Create New Report button will direct you to the page where you will enter the program, area of study, and the optional Concentration (SubPlan). Once the fields are populated with the desired information, click on the Submit Request link in the lower-right corner of the page. Thank you for your time, Veronica! --Tanjagay Martin | ctcLink CS Core Functional Trainer
