What username and password do I use to login to WebAdvisor?

Log in using the same username and password you use to read your email or access Huxley (the campus file server).

How do I get access to my advisees or advisees for the department/program I’m chair/director/administrative assistant of?

The Registrar’s office manages advisors and department chair/administrative assistant access to advisor information on WebAdvisor. To request access, contact the Registrar’s office (ext. 2243; registrar@nebrwesleyan.edu,).

Why can't I see the classes for which I'm the instructor this term on

Instructor information comes from the administrative database,
as given to the Registrar's Office by the department chairs/program
directors. If you are not listed as the instructor, have your department
chair/program director contact the Registrar's Office (465-2243; registrar@nebrwesleyan.edu) to let them know the course section(s) you are teaching.

My Address, phone, etc. is incorrect on WebAdvisor. Who do I contact to correct this?

The Human Resources office maintains address and other demographic data for faculty and staff which is displayed on WebAdvisor. To report incorrect information, contact Sandy Ferrell (ext. 2120; sjf@nebrwesleyan.edu,).

Can I link directly to a specific WebAdvisor workflow in an email or Web page?

Yes you can.  Here is an example that links directly to the Web Bellbook workflow on the Employees Menu.

http://www.nebrwesleyan.edu/WebAdvisor/WebAdvisor?TYPE=P&PID=ST-XNWU02A&...

If you click on this link it will first take you to the WebAdvisor login screen and then directly to the Web Bellbook workflow.  There are a couple of pieces you can change to point to whichever WebAdvisor workflow you need:

The "CONSTITUENCY=WBEM" section tells it to use the employees menu as the menu to go back to and style of the page (colors, etc.).  Use:

  • WBFC for the faculty menu
  • WBST for the student CLAS menu
  • WBCE for the students UC menu
  • WBEM for the employees menu

The "PID=ST-XNWU02A" section tells which workflow process to link to.  In this case it's the web bellbook.   The best way to find a process name to use is to:

  1. Pull up the WebAdvisor menu the workflow you want is on.
  2. Pull down the view menu and choose source (or page source if your usingFirefox).  This pulls up the pages htlm source code.
  3. Then pull down the Edit menu and choose find .
  4. In the search bar enter the name of the process you are looking for (e.g
  5. . Web Bellbook).  This will take you to the line in the source code for this workflow.
  6. Scroll left and you should find the PID= part of the code which will hav
  7. e what to use here.

 If you can't find the process name please use our help system to submit a request  (using a problem type of "WebAdvisor").

You can use the link as above in a plain text email message.  Or if you're sending a html email or including it on a Webpage you can put the href code syntax around it to make it into an html link.  Here's what this would look like again using the link to Web Bellbook:

<a href=" http://www.nebrwesleyan.edu/WebAdvisor/WebAdvisor?TYPE=P&PID=ST-XNWU02A&... Go Directly to Web Bellbook <a>

How do I get access to my GL budget accounts via WebAdvisor?
