Abstract

The process of planning a student's academic career is an essential component to ensuring an expedited completion of a college degree. Consequently the academic advising process plays a significant role in a student's academic life. The system introduced in this paper enables students to prepare properly for an advising appointment, giving them the possibility of maximizing its effectiveness. This stand-alone system is based on JSON to create a reusable and flexible one-stop solution to course planning. A preliminary study with IT students shows promising results.
