Mandatory Use of Webadvisor
Manhattanville College provides all students with a secure online self-service portal called WebAdvisor. Students may perform the following self-service functions in WebAdvisor:
- Register for courses, perform adds and drops while registration is open and check academic calendars for specific dates
- View term schedules, final grades, tuition status, unofficial transcript and demographic profile (name data, address/phone info, academic status)
- Create and maintain FERPA waivers for others access to academic records
- Undergraduates are expected to routinely use Degree Audit to check their progress fulfilling general education, distribution and liberal arts credit requirements
- View the status of accepted transfer credits, Manhattanville undergraduate placement exam scores, the recording of external testing results (TOEFL, CLEP, etc.) and approved grade changes
- Submit faculty evaluations: At the completion of a semester, faculty evaluations are administered through WebAdvisor
WebAdvisor also hosts the College’s online Schedule of Classes. This online schedule is open to the public. All students attending classes at Manhattanville College are required to setup access to WebAdvisor and use the system. WebAdvisor access may be established once the student receives a “Welcome” email or letter indicating that their account is ready to be activated. This is done in conjunction with their Office365 email account (see below). Visit the Registrar’s Office or Information Technology web pages for more information.
Mandatory Student Use of College’s Email System
Email is the official means of communication among all students, faculty and staff at Manhattanville College. Every student is provided with an Office 365 email account and is expected to use it!. The College reserves the right to send email communications to a student’s Office365 email account with the expectation that such communications will be received, opened and read in a timely manner. In many cases, an email will be the ONLY form of notification sent to the student. College faculty use email on a constant basis to conduct classes and expect students to monitor their account as part of their studies. College administration and offices use email to communicate announcements, advisories and important deadlines to the student community. Students will receive a “Welcome” email or letter indicating that their account is ready to be activated. This is done in conjunction with their WebAdvisor account (see above). The Office of Information Technology assigns everyone an official Manhattanville College email address. This is the college email address that appears in all electronic data applications such as the College web site, Ellucian Colleague system, WebAdvisor online portal, Blackboard, etc. Printed materials such as handbooks and name directories will also display the official College email address. Students are allowed to setup email forwarding to have their Office365 email redirected to another email address (e.g.: Gmail, Hotmail). However, please note that such redirection is done at the student’s own risk. Manhattanville College cannot be responsible for the processing of emails in other email systems or held liable for missed communications that were originally sent to the student’s official email address. Visit the Office of Information Technology’s web pages for further information and the College’s Email Policy.
