1. Students will request a POI through the pre-reg system, which will display a text box above the plan with information detailing the approval process (dates, times, locations, contacts, etc). Please submit a CI Update with any text updates.
2. If a POI has been requested for your course, the nightly process will send you a nightly notification email.
3. The students’ requests can be viewed and approved/disapproved in WesPortal.
   Under Courses, click on Course Management. Please make sure that you select the correct term in the drop-down menu on the upper left. Then click on the POI Requests link on the page.
