This will open a new browser tab and you will be prompted to log in using your Tulane SSO credentials.  Once logged in, you will be able to select your advisees from the student drop down list on the right, or you can search for a student by their TUID.  Advanced Search will be discussed below.

Accessing Degree Works via advising list on Gibson

Students you are assigned to as an advisor will auto-populate on your Gibson Advisor tab as well.  Selecting “View” under “Degree Audit” for your advisee will open that student’s degree audit in a new tab in your browser.

Searching for a specific student via the Gibson Advisor tab

You can search for students by either their TUID or first and last names via the Gibson Advisor tab.  Once the results are returned, click “View” under “Degree Audit” and that student’s degree audit will open in a new tab in your browser.
