WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind.<\/strong> \u2014 Purdue University officials announced Wednesday (May 29), as part of its Transformative Education 2.0 initiative, the launch of Ellucian Smart Plan, an innovative degree audit and planning tool that will allow Boilermaker students and their advisors to easily plan, manage and progress through academic goals and career preparation.<\/p>\n\n\n

The intelligent, cloud-based software helps students cross the finish line on time, avoiding critical errors that delay completion and can amount to additional financial obligations. The Ellucian Smart Plan automatically solves for plan-altering events, like a change in major or a shift in program requirements. By handling these tasks, the software frees up advisors\u2019 time to foster deeper, more personalized support for students. For the first time, students and advisors can cede planning responsibility to the planner \u2014 and instead, focus their energy on executing it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cStudents and academic advisors will be able to use Ellucian Smart Plan to develop personalized semester-by-semester plans and track successful progress toward degree completion, preparing them for their careers of choice,\u201d said Jenna Rickus, Purdue vice provost for teaching and learning and the John Martinson Honors College. \u201cThe tool includes a real-time snapshot of the student\u2019s entire academic career and how courses could look for each semester going forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEllucian Smart Plan will empower informed decision-making for all campus stakeholders from students, advisors, department chairs, deans, provosts and the president,\u201d Rickus added. \u201cAt a broader campus level, it will help facilitate more accurate modeling of course\u00a0demand, helping us maximize our campus physical spaces and enhance our overall teaching and learning mission.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
