Instant Degree Audits. Smarter Decisions. Better Outcomes.

Kuali Advisor is the only degree audit solution that recalculates student progress instantly as you advise.

Advisor contemplates any imaginable data, including non-course milestones, “attributes,” CPL, and transfer work. And Advisor has built-in transfer articulation. So, your advising process is always based upon immediately accurate student-progress.

Change a student’s major or program on the fly, and instantly see:

  • What requirements are met
  • What’s still needed
  • And which real, available classes the student qualifies to take next
  • Analytics that are updated at absurd speed and with absolute accuracy

No delays. No batch updates. Just instant clarity—for advisors, students, and administrators.

How It Works

Dashboard

A configurable, role-based home dashboard puts real-time progress front and center. The progress graphics refresh with an instant degree audit every time the page loads, and users can launch a full or What-If audit directly from the progress card or other on-page controls.

Requirements

A clear, hierarchical audit makes requirements unambiguous. Advisors and students can expand each section, see exactly what’s met and what remains, and jump via the clickable outline. Forward-looking coursework—planned, registered, or in-progress—is labeled and treated as provisional until completed. Custom banners at the top call out the audit mode (e.g., Planning vs. Official) and any priority messages your institution wants every student to see.

Planner

A personalized planner surfaces only open, degree-applicable classes for each student—validated by their instant audit and prerequisite rules. Results are scoped to the selected requirement (e.g., Science Courses with Labs) and live section data. The left panel offers configurable filters (goal, term/session, including unscheduled, requirement, category, delivery method, days, and more). Add with one click; the right rail summarizes planned classes with quick links to View Schedule and View Audit.

Why Real-Time Matters

Traditional audit tools rely on nightly syncs or scheduled refreshes. That creates lag between what students see and what’s actually possible.

Kuali Advisor eliminates the lag.
