You will use your IPFW user name and password to sign into AdvisorTrac.

  • Click on Make Appointment at the top of the screen (above the date).

  • SELECT YOUR OWN ADVISOR . If you select an advisor other than your own, you will not be seen by them.
    Note: Having the same advisor semester to semester is important for continuity and building rapport with your advisor.

  • Click on Search.

  • Click on the “I” that fits your time range under the Availability column.

  • On the next page, use the drop down arrow by time to establish the beginning time of your appointment. Appointments are set up by the half an hour (e.g., 9:00, 9:30, 10:00). Appointments are 30 minutes in length.

  • If there is no availabity with your own advisor, e-mail your advisor asking them to set up an alternate time.
    Note: If you select an advisor other than your own, you will not be seen by them.
