What is WebAdvisor?
WebAdvisor is a tool that allows prospective students, current students, former students and faculty members to perform many different functions online, at their convenience. Those that have applied for admittance into the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, can view their admission status and placement test-score summary. Students can register for classes, drop classes, view their academic profiles (e.g., grades, transcripts, test scores, make payments, obtain enrollment verification forms, etc.), and their account profiles (e.g. financial aid information). Faculty can list their advisees, post grades, and view their schedules and class rosters. To utilize WebAdvisor, you must first obtain a user ID and password; however, anyone can search for sections without this information.
