In their own words
DegreeReady
DegreeReady is a web platform for managing student progression from degree-program setup through planning and auditing. Students can map planned and completed units by semester, move subjects with drag and drop, and receive warnings when plans break program rules. The system shows the cost of each subject and the total degree cost, plus completion percentages, remaining subjects or credit points, projected graduation dates, and credit points per subject. Advisors can create version-controlled templates linked to program structures, including templates based on career goals or pathways and wildcard subjects. They can work with students remotely or in person and use What If scenarios to examine alternatives and transferable credits. Administrators and advisors can receive alerts when students fall behind or plans become invalid. On-demand audits compare enrolled and completed subjects from an existing Student Management System with degree rules. Institutions can open access to prospective students and agents. DegreeReady is paid, with pricing on request, and has no free plan or trial.
