uAchieve Planner

What uAchieve Planner is

uAchieve Planner is a web-based degree planning tool that uses degree audit information to help students plan a route toward graduation. Version 5.0 can automatically create term-by-term plans from degree requirements and declared programs. It checks planned courses against requirements and indicates where courses apply. Plans can adjust as course outcomes, applied exceptions or waivers, and curriculum changes are recorded. Students and advisors can discuss plans through interactive comments. Reports cover progress through plans, scheduled course demand, and student schedule preferences, supporting academic planning, demand analysis, and classroom scheduling. Responsive design lets users view plans on any device. The Planner can integrate with uAchieve Degree Audit and Schedule Builder; TES can provide course availability, descriptions, and prerequisite and corequisite relationships. It also connects to seven student information systems, including homegrown systems, through Java-based interfaces, and can integrate with user management and single sign-on systems. CollegeSource describes the system as fully hosted in the cloud. Its institutional subscription includes 40 hours of support, along with a scalable platform, monitoring, backup and disaster recovery, and cyclical upgrades. Pricing is custom.
