TrackMyDegree empowers Concordia students to seamlessly plan their academic journey with an interactive, intuitive platform that generates course sequences. It allows students to view course prerequisites, core requirements, and graduation timelines, ensuring they can easily navigate their degree requirements without feeling overwhelmed.
The platform leverages features like document scanning, which automatically populates academic profiles based on unofficial transcripts and admission letters, which can save a lot of time. It also offers personalized technical elective recommendations based on students' career goals and academic history, aiding students in making informed choices. When students change degrees, TrackMyDegree simplifies credit transfer by identifying equivalent courses, ensuring a smooth transition that maximizes academic credits.
Real-time curriculum updates keep students informed of any changes impacting their degree path, allowing them to adjust plans proactively to graduate on schedule. As a bonus, future Concordia students from CEGEP or high school can explore potential degree paths, complete with transfer credit options.
TrackMyDegree targets Concordia’s students and advisors, starting with the Gina Cody School of Engineering and Computer Science, with plans to expand across departments. By streamlining communication and automating advising functions, TrackMyDegree reduces wait times, empowering advisors to focus on complex issues and enhancing the academic journey for all. At its core, TrackMyDegree is a student-centric solution, bringing clarity, adaptability, and flexibility to academic planning and setting a new standard in educational technology.
