AI and Academic Progress: Unifying Planning, Advising, and Degree Audit for Student Success

As AI enters the registrar and advising toolkit, how will reimagine the student experience and our role within it? This session explores the convergence of program planning, academic advising, and degree audit into a connected, student-centered experience. We’ll discuss where AI can strengthen accuracy, timeliness, and equity in progress evaluation, and where human judgment remains essential. Grounded in the Oracle Student's commitment to student agency—we’ll examine the impacts of AI on students, advisors, and registrars, plus practical considerations for governance and trust.
