Mandatory Advising Appointments (MAAs)

Mandatory Advising Appointments (MAAs)

MAAs are created for students for a variety of “Reasons”, but in general, they are created when a student is not performing well academically. The intention of assigning an MAA to a student is to provide an intervention point to check-in with the student and advise on how to course correct before they damage their chances of successfully graduating.

If an advisor does not mark an MAA as “Satisfied” or “Cleared” before the deadline on the MAA. A course registration block is placed on the student’s record so that they cannot register for courses – potentially further damaging their academic standing.
