Academic Planner: A Collaborative Tool for Student Retention

The University of Montana's Web Services, in partnership with the Office for Student Success, has developed Academic Planner, an online interactive course planning and academic tool. Due to rapid adoption since its release, over 15,000 students at UM have used Academic Planner to plan both current and out-year semesters in order to ensure graduation in four years. The presenters will discuss both Academic Planner's technical development and the impact Academic Planner has had on academic advising and student success.
