Automatically Assign Advisor Per Program

We have students switch programs sometimes (by choice, graduating out of another, etc.), but the switching of their advisors seems to get missed.

Would it be possible to have a place to attribute an individual to a program as the Advisor of that program, and then anytime a student is enrolled in that program, Populi automatically switches their advisor to the new advisor?

The place where I could see it being an issue right now is with the option to manually add advisors, as you can have many of them right now.
I could see it being fixed by having Program Advisor (set and locked, unless unlocked), and then "Other Advisors".

I run Student Support at our college. Right now, I set myself as an advisor of all our current students so that I could get reports on their grades (which needs tweaking). This is how I see multiple advisors being useful.

 

 

Hope that makes sense!
