Abstract
Academic career plans may be jeopardized when deviation from the plan occurs such as failing a course with matters made worse when that class is a prerequisite for others. Sometimes, even the best plans are infeasible when courses are offered at conflicting times during the same semester. This presentation demonstrates technology solutions that have been developed to provide advisors with individualized programs of study that account for students’ unique academic situations as well as student class schedules. The various assumptions, data requirements, and challenges are discussed along with implementation using Excel and SAS/OR.
