Degree Pathways

The Degree Pathway tool provides a personalized planning experience for active or enrolled students. It enables the students to map and visualize a plan that shows how they can get from the beginning to the end of their programs, course by course, term by term. Degree Pathways option is used to engage and involve students and gives advisors the ability to help plan using student focused choice.

If the selected student is:

• A Prospect or an Applicant / Duplicate Applicant, an error message is displayed as "Degree Pathway is not available as there is no enrollment"

• A Graduate or Withdrawn from School, an error message is displayed as "Degree Pathway is not available for this role"

Your advisor must verify if degree pathway is enabled for the specified Program of Study.

You can access Degree Pathways in the Student Portal.

1. Navigate to My Academics > Degree Pathways. The Degree Pathways page is displayed.

2. Select the enrolled program you want to view the degree pathways for. If a Degree Pathway is available for the Program of Study, it will be displayed.

   Note: The number in the circle beside each Program of Study indicates the number of degree pathways available for that program. 0 indicates that there is no Degree Pathway available for that Program of Study.

   

View Degree Pathway Templates for an Enrollment

You can use the Degree Pathway page to create a template that contains a guided pathway within your institution for an enrollment. Any templates that you configure are copied when you copy the enrollment.

You can have different courses and course order for each catalog. You can create the suggested pathway for the catalog by placing the various courses in a specific order based on the catalog.

The pathway template also contains placeholders for student electives allowing all terms in the enrollment to be created and populated with credits before the course name is known. If an elective pool is configured with a number of credits or hours, the template displays a message if you exceed the value. However, you can save and continue with the pathway template.
