• Meaningful progress in uAchieve Degree Audit encoding was made over the winter term. The Office of the University Registrar completed all major advisor engagements. Minors were also fully encoded and tested. We conducted student feedback sessions, which provided insights used to refine the design and functionality of the audit system. Requests for automatic exceptions were submitted for approval, with next steps focused on multiple major encoding, continued development of training materials for students and staff, validating system functionality, and continued advising outreach. 
  
  The project is currently in the user acceptance testing phase for tangential petitions with undergraduate academic advisors. The technical and business teams are working on go-live planning for the release of the uAchieve Degree Audit and related application changes.

• Significant progress continues on the uAchieve degree audit project. The Office of the University Registrar, or OUR, completed the initial encoding for all 138 major programs and 118 minors spanning the 2018-2025 catalogs. The team onboarded 138 advisors from the deans' offices and major departments, whose insights helped refine the design and functionality of the audit system. Next steps include engagements for minors, completing encoding for multiple major audits, and incorporating feedback from anticipated student review sessions. 
  
  The development team is implementing the updated degree certification process. The Office of the Registrar and technical teams now conduct a system test of the new and updated OASIS forms. The user acceptance testing phase, involving advisors and students, is scheduled to begin in early 2026.

In collaboration with deans' offices, OUR actively engaged in outreach efforts to keep major advisors informed and prepared regarding the project's progress. The vendor continues to make consistent advancements in addressing customization requests and resolving reported issues. 
  
  The new Change of Program petition and Graduation Application development nears completion with testing to begin next quarter.

• The Office of the University Registrar successfully encoded 48 majors as part of its ongoing efforts to develop the uAchieve system. To date, 19 major engagements were conducted to ensure alignment with university standards and advisor needs. Two contract employees were onboarded to assist with the encoding and formatting audits, helping to streamline the process and ensure accuracy.

• The Office of the University Registrar completed its engagement with the college academic advisors. The team continued work with the uAchieve vendor, CollegeSource, to implement formatting and requirement changes to university and college requirements. Work continues on encoding the first group of 12 majors. After conducting Joint Application Design (JAD) sessions with advisors, more than 50 future state changes for the degree certification process and curricula updates were identified.

• June 20, 2024
• The Office of the University Registrar continued to meet with college academic advisors to review the audit encoding of university, college, and General Education requirements throughout the spring. Many issues were resolved with a few still being reviewed by CollegeSource, the parent company of uAchieve. The Enrollment Management Strategic Technologies Initiatives staff led six joint application design sessions with about 24 academic advisors, the Office of the University Registrar, and Enterprise Student Applications to collect requirements for degree certification, academic exception processing, and other matters connected with the project.
• May 21, 2024
• Engagements with academic advisors began during the winter 2024 term. College-designated deans' offices advisors began work with the Office of the University Registrar on the overall structure of the audit and confirming the encoding of the General Education requirements. Concurrently, Enrollment Management’s Strategic Technology Initiative team launched engagements with college-designated advisors to document degree certification processes, handling degree exceptions (waivers and substitutions), and updating students’ curriculum (majors, minors, academic options).
