Students can be assigned to Homeroom or Core (CAS, EE, TOK, SA, CP, PP ETC) Advisors / Supervisors in a number of different ways, or even select their own supervisor in some instances:

 

Assign Supervisors individually via the Worksheet

Navigate to the Year Groups > Select the Core tab  > select the student from the roster (e.g IB DP Year Group > EE > or IB MYP Year Group> SA etc).

On the right-hand side, you will see the current project / experience advisor of the student, if one has been assigned. For some worksheets, you can select the advisor from the dropdown here to update, while others you may need to click edit such as Edit Proposal for Extended Essay. Select the new advisor via the dropdown, Save Changes.
