Academic Advisement Overview

Academic Advisement is the application within PeopleSoft Campus Solutions that is used to track the requirements and policies that a student must satisfy in order to graduate. As a student progresses towards graduation, the Academic Advisement audit engine analyzes all courses, restrictions, pre-conditions, or conditions completed (both successfully and unsuccessfully) by the student. The application determines what requirements are still outstanding. Using data specified on PeopleSoft Student Records pages and requirements entered on Academic Advisement pages, this application automatically tracks a student's degree progress. Academic Advisement is separated into two parts: how to enter requirements into the system using the appropriate pages and how to analyze student data against the requirements in order to report degree progress.
