Blue Mountain Community College Pioneers Modern Degree Auditing with Kuali Advisor

Blue Mountain Community College (BMCC) was the first institution to adopt and help shape Kuali Advisor, a real-time degree audit and planning system. Before using Advisor, BMCC relied on manual, paper-based audits that required long hours of transcript checking. By partnering with Kuali, BMCC helped build a tool that instantly shows student progress, requirements, and certificate opportunities.
