Within u.achieve, advisors and students have the option to run a “what if” audit, allowing students to plan ahead to compare various program requirements and to shop for the best fit course configuration. This dynamic capability provides flexibility and fast, accurate information for both advisors and students to make the best decisions on their path towards graduation.

u.achieve can be used in gathering data for the certification process of new student athletes and can monitor continuing academic and competition eligibility for all classifications of student athletes. u.achieve is not limited to just NCAA, it can also check for criteria such as: eligibility to honoraries, completion of “pre-admission”, requirements in restricted academic programs, calculation and reporting of information needed for employment, resume completion of professional certification requirements and evaluation of transfer students for admission, thus providing a dynamic and concise degree audit to fit each institutions unique needs.

Handles Multiple Grading Schemes

Due to u.achieve’s flexible architecture, institutions can customize the degree audit to handle multiple grading schemes between colleges within your university. u.achieve is capable of converting any form of transfer grades into your grading scales; calculating alternate GPAs for graduation honors, majors, minors, etc.; and combining courses with unalike grades into equivalencies. u.achieve is a robust software solution that can handle unique grading schemes to meet each individual institution’s needs.

Transfer Articulation

u.achieve offers a comprehensive transfer articulation program that is included with the degree audit. This enables the automatic evaluation of transfer courses into course equivalencies and/or into elements applying toward program requirements at the receiving institution. Through this automated process, a student can receive a transfer equivalency report well before the student enrolls and is advised, alleviating many hours of repetitive manual course equivalency checks. It also ensures there is consistency campus wide in regards to course transfer articulations. The transfer articulation solution within u.achieve allows for a seamless transition for transfer students.

Plan with Course Cart

u.achieve has a course cart for students to shop for prospective courses and test for minimum GPA requirements. The course cart allows students to plan for courses that they want to take in the future, and also allows institutions to link their online course catalog to the courses on the degree audit. The course cart within u.achieve is a great way for students to plan for the future, and help ensure timely graduation.

To conform to the block transfer credit and varying state transfer agreements u.achieve can accept non-equivalent transfer courses; facilitate general education category or full general education completion status depending on the transfer work and degrees coming in from specified schools; allow for acceptance of generally non-transferable work based on transfer agreements or exceptions; and permit articulation rules to be college and/or program specific.
