As a student progresses toward graduation, Academic Advisement analyzes those courses completed by the student—both successfully and unsuccessfully—and ascertains what requirements are still outstanding. Using data from Student Records and requirements entered in Academic Advisement, this application automatically tracks a student’s degree progress. After you enter requirements into the system, you can analyze a student’s data against the requirements to report degree progress. You can also perform what-if scenarios for student to see what courses they might need to complete for a specific major

Campus Community brings it all together and enables you to maintain and manage a wide range of basic information about people and organizations of interest to the institution. Each application within Campus Connection relies on this data which includes an individual’s or organization’s name, address, and system ID.
