Student profiles

The Profile > Student view shows all of a student's academic information. The left column shows you the big picture: Transcript and Degree Audit. The right column shows the details: Student Info, Courses, Degrees, Programs, Awards, and Discipline.

The Student role

The Student view appears on a person's profile once they have the Student role, and remains visible as long as that is so. An active Student role is required if you wish to record academic information for a person. Here's how you can give a person the Student role:

• Click edit roles under the profile picture, select Student from the drop-down, click Add, and then Save.
• Accept an application. This option also lets you import any academic information gathered during the admissions process.
• If your data was imported into Populi from your old system, anyone with an academic record was given the Student role (historic students were then set to Inactive).

Degree Audit

The Degree Audit shows how the student is progressing towards earning a degree and/or specialization.

Schedule

The Schedule view gives you three ways to look at a student's weekly course schedule according to the regular course meeting times.

Student Information

This panel displays general student information. Click edit to modify the student's entrance term, advisor, campus(es), and any custom student info you might be tracking.

• Student ID is automatically-generated when you give someone the Student role. Read about how student ID numbers are generated.
• Select an Advisor by typing an Advisor's name in the field. Select from the results. The Advisor has fairly comprehensive access to the student's academic information.
• Check to require that the student be proctored for all online tests in all courses. This can be changed at the individual test by the course faculty if necessary.
• Assign the student to a campus by clicking campus names. Doing so limits the student to courses scheduled in buildings on that particular campus. You can list as many campuses as you wish.

• The Student Type field lets you control how students may self-register in courses with particular delivery methods. This article has more details.
