Advisor Access and Login\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Once an account has been created, advisors receive an email from the tool guiding you to verify your account and set your password (pictured below). Your School Admin will provide you with a link to log in to the Advisor Dashboard.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-12497 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/instruction.austincc.edu\/nexus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/66\/2024\/03\/advisor-verify.jpg?resize=472%2C406&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"advisor-verify email \" width=\"472\" height=\"406\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Once you have received the verification email (pictured above), you will create a password for your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Advisor account. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Passwords must include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Eight or more characters<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> At least one number<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Upper &amp; lowercase letters<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> At least one special character<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>3.

Assigning a CPL Match to a Faculty Reviewer<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you determine that a Faculty Reviewer should review a CPL Match, you can assign the CPL Match to a Faculty Reviewer. Usually, you will contact a Faculty Reviewer because you think a student may be able to earn college credit for something in their CPL Profile. The Reviewer may make a credit recommendation based on what the student has submitted as part of their CPL Profile, but they may make a different recommendation. The Reviewer may ask the student for more information. The Reviewer may say the student should attempt a Challenge Exam or complete a portfolio.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ol>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> View the <\/span>CPL Match Detail Page.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Click<\/span> Assign Reviewer in the upper right-hand corner.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> In the pop-up box, select the<\/span> Reviewer<span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to whom the CPL Match should be sent. If you do not see the Reviewer you need, talk to your School Admin about adding a new Reviewer.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Enter the due date by which the Reviewer should complete their evaluation.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> The Description is a very important field. Both the student and the Reviewer will see the content of the Description field. In the Description, specifically ask the Reviewer if the student should be able to earn credit for this item of their Profile, whether the student should instead submit additional work or complete a departmental exam, and if the student can earn credit, what course the student should earn credit for.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Once you assign the CPL Match to the Reviewer, the status of the CPL Match will change to In Progress, Assigned Reviewer.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/instruction.austincc.edu\/nexus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/66\/2024\/03\/advisor-reviewer.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-12499 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/instruction.austincc.edu\/nexus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/66\/2024\/03\/advisor-reviewer.jpg?resize=493%2C314&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"advisor-reviewer\" width=\"493\" height=\"314\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><b>6.
