Cardinal Experience Instructions

Cardinal Experience
With Special Attention to Faculty/Advisor Use
NOTE: Information Services has noted that the Chrome browser does not work as
effectively with Web Advisor as do Firefox and Explorer. You might want to take that into
consideration.
What is it?
Cardinal Experience is a new feature in WebAdvisor designed to collect student contacts
from all constituents on campus. By entering this information in a central database,
student affairs staff can have a full view of the student’s experience and take the
appropriate action to assist each student.
Who can access it?
All WJC employees can access Cardinal Experience by logging into MyJewell
(http://www.my.jewell.edu/webadvisor/webadvisor). There are four levels of security:
1. Faculty/Staff can enter a contact for any student; however, they can only view
their own contacts.
2. Advisors can view all academic contacts of their current advisees.
3. Resident Directors can view all student life contacts of the students in their
individual buildings.
4. Student affairs administrators can view all academic and student life contacts
of all students.
