Empower students and campus leaders with answers to their important questions.
Students
- What courses fit my work schedule?
- When will I graduate if I take/don’t take this course?
- What courses will speed up graduation and minimize cost?
- What if I changed my major? Dropped this course? Took a semester off to work?
Campus Leaders
- Which students have already met all requirements for a degree or credential—independent of their declared goal?
- How close are students to completing any program, credential, or major—independent of their declared goal?
- Which degrees and credentials are students closest to completing?
