Faculty/Staff-When do I use "Add a Note on this Student" vs. "Report on Advising"?

Notes are just "sticky notes" put on a student profile for others to see. A note contains a reminder or activity that occurred outside of an appointment.

All professional advising areas are expected to prepare for and record advising contacts in T-Claw Navigate360.

Faculty/Staff-If I want to email a student from T-Claw Navigate360 and click on "Message Student," does it go to their TSU email or does it stay in T-Claw Navigate?

It goes to their TSU email. A copy is also stored in their T-Claw Navigate360 profile under conversations and in your T-Claw Navigate360 Conversations--similar to the sent box in Outlook. If you want a copy in Outlook, you will need to include yourself on the message.
