Advisors, would you like a quiet environment and personal assistance to learn how to read and write SPIRE Advising Notes? Consider our Advising Notes Help Sessions or trainings. The Help Sessions are not formal workshops, but an opportunity for anyone with SPIRE for Advisors access to get one-on-one assistance with reading and writing Advising Notes. The trainings are more formal to serve larger groups (up to twelve).

PREREQUISITE

Advising Notes Help Sessions and trainings are intended for advisors who already have SPIRE for Advisor access and Advising Notes. If you do not have access already, please visit Access to SPIRE. Training for Advising Notes is included in the required training for new advisors who are approved for Advisor access to SPIRE.
