Part I. Needs Assessment

This database models a college degree audit system. A college degree audit

system is a hel ful tool for schools to manage details on com leted courses and re!uired

courses throughout a student"s college career. The degree audit differs from a ty ical

transcri t because it ro#ects future needed classes. Students can $ee trac$ of their

course information and ma$e sure they are staying on trac$ for graduation. The

moti%ation for this ro#ect comes from the fact that &a%ier"s system for ad%ising student"s

on classes needed to graduate is %ery fla'ed. There is a degree audit feature a%ailable

'ith banner'eb, but it does not roduce correct results. This lea%es the course schedulingu to the student or ad%isor, 'hich is not only tedious, but lea%es a lot of room for error if

they are not mindful on the curriculum re!uirements. (ith this Degree Audit, the rocess

of scheduling classes and staying a'are of 'hat you need to graduate 'ill be easier

because students 'ill be able to see the courses they ha%e ta$en and the courses

remaining for them to ta$e in order to graduate. I"%e im lemented a )T*+ P)P age as
