Institutions serve thousands of students annually. With adult learners, undergraduate and transfer students entering the higher education stream, these numbers are steadily growing. Serving that many students at any one time is a challenging task daunted by resource and financial restrictions, and lack of direction.
One significant barrier to helping students properly assess their degree path is the lack of on demand access to their academic course history and “what-if” scenarios. Every delay in obtaining academic information can cost both institutions and students money, overall success, and time to graduation. 
A degree audit or “what-if” web-based tool can be a critical information source for students and between advisors and other academic professionals who support their academic progress. It gives students and academic professionals an online resource that helps to improve student advising and persistence across institutions and fosters successful student degree completion. 
Join us for this informative webinar to learn how:
·          To help students make better academic decisions.
·          Students can create personal accounts that allow them manage their coursework, prepare for advisement sessions, and improve degree planning.
·          Advisors and other academic professionals prepare for advisement sessions, reduce manual entry of data, and degree planning.
·          Reduce time and administrative overhead through high-quality, online, real-time student self-service.
·          Students can increase accuracy in degree planning information through web-based advising and guidance.
·          Sophisticated use of technology can reduce the effort required to maintain academic degree data repository.
·          To improve collaboration between students and academic professionals as it relates to on-time graduation success.
We look forward to your attendance.
