AB  - Academic Advising App Abstract
This senior capstone, the Academic Advising App, is designed to transform the academic advising process by providing an intuitive, comprehensive platform that facilitates seamless interaction among students, advisors, and administrators. The app’s primary function is to offer a clear roadmap for students, assisting them in course selection, schedule creation, and goal-setting for graduation. By simplifying the complexities of academic planning, the app enhances user experience and efficiency.
For students, the platform provides an organized framework for viewing course requirements, resolving scheduling conflicts, and receiving personalized academic advice. Advisors benefit from streamlined management of student information, automated appointment scheduling, and efficient course approval workflows, allowing them to focus on meaningful student interactions. Administrators use the app to plan academic calendars, manage course catalogs, and reduce scheduling conflicts, fostering better coordination across all stakeholders.
The motivation for developing this app stemmed from the inefficiencies of current manual advising processes, which often suffer from poor communication and collaboration. The Academic Advising App bridges this gap by providing an inclusive, unified solution.
Challenges during development included ensuring cross-platform accessibility, safeguarding student data in compliance with FERPA regulations, and navigating institutional database restrictions. A web-based design was chosen for its user-friendliness and cross-platform support, supported by a custom database populated with placeholder data to meet privacy and compliance standards.
The Academic Advising App addresses key gaps in academic planning, simplifying communication, reducing administrative burdens, and enhancing the advising experience for students, advisors, and administrators. Through this innovative solution, we aim to create a more collaborative and effective academic advising process.
