What uAchieve Degree Audit is

uAchieve Degree Audit helps higher education institutions track academic progress and identify requirements students still need to meet for graduation. Its audits can account for multiple majors, minors, and degrees, waivers, test scores, non-course requirements, GPA calculations, and course reuse. Students and advisors can run what-if audits to see how completed courses fit other degree programs. Staff can process audits in batches and use an internal report template library for analytics and early warnings. The system offers real-time integration with Ellucian Banner and Colleague through Ethos, JDBC, and RESTful web services, and with PeopleSoft through JDBC or REST/JSON web services. Java-based interfaces can connect it with homegrown student information systems and systems such as Jenzabar, Workday, and CAMS. Transfer Articulation stores course or program equivalencies and statewide transfer rules, and translates transfer grades and credits into home-institution values. Audits and transfer equivalencies can be provided to students through Transferology. Institutions can use the AWS-hosted service or on-premise upgrades. The product page states a 99.99% uptime guarantee for hosted service and describes encrypted data, backups, and disaster recovery. Each subscription includes 40 hours of support and dedicated technical and functional support. CollegeSource traces its roots to 1971 and is headquartered in San Diego, California.
