change the advisor role to school counselor

Students see an advisor on their report card/ transcript, however we would like it to read school counselor.  Students also apply to college using the Common App. which lists two different recommenders; advisor and school counselor.  It is too confusing to students.

    The ability to adjust the labels for the fields on report cards has been implemented with our new report card builder that was made available to all onRecord sites in the July release. We are hard at work on the transcript builder and hope to have an EAP later this year which will also include this functionality.

    Hi Paul,

    The new report card builder will allow you to edit the label (or choose not to include the label) for Advisor in the header. Schools that wish to have a label and have it display Advisor will still be able to. No changes were made to the roles themselves.

    Thanks so much!
    Jacqueline

    Can we get some clarification on what this exactly means, particularly when we are a school that really uses and requires the advisor role.

    It would be best to add the role of counselor. I'm with Margaret's comment in a need to differentiate the two, as my school does have advisors and counselors.

    Yes, I agree - this change would be most helpful. We have people with each title here at our school and it also comes up on certain college applications. We need to make this distinction here. We are school counselors, not advisers, and need to make that clarification.

    I vote yes- change advisor to school counselor!

    School Counselor is more specific than Advisor. Some schools have both so it would be good to be able to differentiate the two.

    It would be extremely helpful to add the role "school counselor" so that students and parents see that instead of "advisor".

    Thanks!

    The term "Advisor" is confusing to Saint John's students and parents.  Here we use "School Counselor"
