Sync

The sync process is a way to cross-check courses in the roadmap against the degree audit. It is especially useful if you have courses that fulfill multiple requirements on the roadmap by showing you where they will actually apply on the student's audit when audit processing occurs.

How to use Sync:

  1. Click the "Sync" icon at the top of the page.
  2. You will be taken to the synchronize page where you will see the results of the cross check with the audit. If the audit has been completed, you should see all green checkmarks. However, if you haven't fulfilled an audit requirement. You may want to note what is not yet met to make it easier when you go back to the edit view.
  3. From here, select either Roadmap View or Audit and Roadmap View to continue editing your roadmap.

My Plans

The Declared Plan is the plan that you intend to follow. You may have other plans listed and can continue to build them but once you set a Declared plan, this is the one you intend to follow, the others become 'what-if' plans.

The table that displays the plans has several fields:

  • Declared Plan - will designate this as the plan you intend to follow. You may only have one declared plan.
  • Plan Name - by clicking on the name of the plan you will open that plan for editing in the Roadmap and Plan View.
  • Action -: This is a drop-down menu that may have several options:
    • Edit Your Plan: This option will open the plan for editing in the Roadmap and Plan View.
    • View Your Plan: Will open the Plan and Comment View.
    • Rename: This will allow you to rename a plan from that which was originally created. You must hit the "Ok" button after renaming the plan for the change to take.
    • Copy: will provide a pop-up box allowing you to give the copy a name. Hitting OK will then clone the plan, allowing you to modify it just as you did the original plan.
    • Delete: this will allow you to delete a plan from the list. Note, you cannot delete a declared plan unless you first select another plan to be the declared plan.
    • Request Approval/Unapproval: if this is your declared plan, you can send a request to your advisor to have your plan approved and locked down, or to have that approval removed and unlocked.
      You may not see all of the options above in the drop-down menu depending on the permissions you have been granted. For example, if you are not permitted to delete plans, that option will not be one of the actions you can select.
