Academic Planner: Use and Management - Study Guide

The Academic Planner allows schools to manage a student's academic plan through their entire school career. Academic Planning is a process that requires the use of several tools in Campus and several roles in a school.

Create Graduation Programs

Create Graduation Programs

Graduation Programs show a student's progress toward graduation based on the requirements entered for the program. Graduation programs can be created for a particular school or all schools, for a particular set of students (based on their cohort year), and can be set to display on Campus Parent and/or Campus Student. Any number of programs can be created.
