Jayhawk GPS builds upon some of the resources available in the Advising Tool and expands them to allow clear communication across advising units. Students are able to schedule appointments with their assigned advisor(s), mentors, or support staff through the platform (when a user sets availability). Jayhawk GPS also has advanced features like campaigns and watch lists, which help users monitor and communicate with specific students or groups of students. Similar to other platforms on campus, Jayhawk GPS receives data from Enroll & Pay and is refreshed nightly. Jayhawk GPS does not replace the Degree Progress Report (DPR).  

The Advising Tool (myKU Portal) is what initially created to support graduate students, however, many graduate departments have transitioned to using Jayhawk GPS to support their advising needs due to extended functionality. All graduate students have access to Jayhawk GPS.
