CMU implements online degree audit system
Initiative improves efficiencies in academic advising and helps students track degree progress
November 14, 2012 —
To improve efficiencies in academic advising and degree status tracking, CMU is developing an online degree audit system. This system allows students to go online to check their progress within the degree program they are pursuing.
“Students will be able to go to a website and determine exactly where they stand in the progress toward their degree,” said Karen Hutslar, CMU registrar. “It will show what courses they have completed to satisfy requirements, which courses are in progress and which ones are unmet.”
Faculty advisers also can access the system, which will help in guiding students toward graduation.
“Access to this information is a valuable resource,” said Hutslar. “It serves as an ongoing audit for individual students and allows for better course decisions, the planning of classes and fulfilling all requirements for graduation.”
The degree audit system will be implemented in phases. Phase I includes the following elements:
- Audit of general education requirements for all undergraduate students,
- Audit of the M.S.A. degree for all students in that program, and
- An advising workbench where faculty and staff can access student demographic and academic information.
Testing of Phase I by a group of 70 CMU faculty and staff is scheduled to be completed by the end of the 2012 fall semester. Phase 1, including general education courses and the M.S.A. degree, will be released for use by all students, faculty and staff in January 2013.
Additional degrees, majors, minors and graduate programs will be released on an ongoing basis through the online degree audit system as they are developed and tested.
