Degree Audit - Course Recommendations Future Terms

Follow

Add column to Degree Audit table where advisors can indicate when a student should take a course in a future term. Currently students can view their non-completed courses, but have no information on when they should enroll, in what sequence (based on prerequisite courses), or how course taking impacts their time to degree completion.

If this feature were added, Advisors and students could then refer to a student's profile to see what courses should be taken in the future based on their Program of Study. Advisors can revise the future term assignment based on student performance in prior courses. 

This feature will help our students understand what courses they should enroll in in future terms. It will help our advisors easily access program of study and course taking plans for students in addition to eliminating the need for a supplementary tracking system in an non-Populi software platform.

 

Thank you for your consideration.

  This would be a fantastic improvement to the current degree audit. Being able to customize the order of course groups and the courses within those groups would be another way to help with this problem so that students and advisors can see at a glance which courses they should be fulfilling in any given year.

  I'm writing to rearticulate how beneficial this feature would be to our school and students. It would impact and improve the student, advisor, and registrar experience from enrollment to graduation.

  gotta happen...usability of the degree audit for students and advisors is severely hampered by the inability to plan the degree going forward

  coming in late to the game here, but also would love to see more robust degree audit functionality. would be great to have this tool be interactive, noting when to take certain classes, listing out what the prereq for a class are, etc. 

  allow students to use it create a real-time future plan for completing the courses

  Dr. Michael Jackson - You're right, my mistake. It's requesting something different that's related to the same problem.

  I'm not sure if this thread has gone anywhere, but it would be fabulous to have this functionality within the Degree audit.   I lend my vote to have this function improved as well.  I hope it is being considered!
