1Stop Access
1Stop is Cal Poly’s advising notes software used by primary-role academic advisors to document academic advising-related interactions with students.1Stop notes can be viewed two ways, View-only or Full access.
View-only access to 1Stop is available to faculty advisors, department chairs/heads, and Change of Major coordinators. To request view-only access, please read the information that follows, then submit the form below
1Stop View-Only Access
Read carefully before requesting access to 1Stop:
1Stop notes provide a brief description, not an entire representation of the advising interaction that took place with the student.
- Personal concerns of the student, information about health/disability/personal identity, and referrals of a sensitive nature are not documented in 1Stop.
- Do not make assumptions about the notes. If you have questions about the advising interaction, contact the person who wrote the notes to discuss it further.
1Stop notes are part of the student’s official academic record, and are therefore protected by FERPA.
Notes for any student should be accessed only within legitimate, educational “need-to-know” parameters, which include:
- To assist the student in recalling information covered in previous advising interactions
- To assist the student with additional advising-related information
- To refer the student to appropriate resources
In order to maintain access to 1Stop, users must comply with FERPA recertification every two years.
The online training course “Data Security and FERPA” can be accessed through the Cal Poly Learning Hub on the Portal.
Full access to 1Stop is available to primary-role advisors and faculty advisors.
