Risely Agentic Degree Audit is a web tool for colleges and universities that rechecks degree progress when student records or catalog information change. It can rerun an individual audit after grades, transfers or course swaps, and review a whole caseload nightly. Each course is matched to the catalog rule it satisfies; unmet requirements are paired with possible ways to address them, including a course, term and prior substitution precedent. Advisors can compare runs to see what changed and what did not. The system drafts substitutions and exceptions, but an advisor must approve each one. For degree audits, it initially connects read-only to the SIS, degree-audit system and catalog, running alongside existing systems while the SIS remains the system of record. Risely describes scoped connector reads, approval for writes and an append-only, exportable ledger. It says student data is encrypted in transit and at rest, masked before model calls, and not used to train public or foundation models. Pricing is on request; institutions can book a working session to arrange a demo.
Who it is for
It is intended for colleges, universities and academic programs, particularly advisors and administrators handling degree progress and registrar workflows. Institutions seeking to keep their current systems in place may find the read-only initial connection relevant.
