The NDE Assessment and Service Desk teams will host a virtual workday for final Assessment Rostering in ADVISER on December 5th, 2024 from 9am-11am CST. The bulk of the workday will be spent reviewing roster data in ADVISER Validation and helping to troubleshoot/correct any issues.
The NDE Assessment and ADVISER teams will be available for support, along with ESU support and several SIS Vendors. Assessment platform vendors (such as NSCAS Growth, INSIGHT or PANext) will not be in attendance.
