Course descriptions are also available for each class.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAll of this comes directly from Workday, so this should be updating in real-time as courses change,\u201d Pool-Funai said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This functionality is helpful for prospective students, but current students can take the information a step further. Using Workday\u2019s Academic Plan function, students can tailor the degree map to their needs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s a really cool way that I see Workday and the catalog working really well together because though we have one example (the degree map) of what it could look like for you to go through this program, each student can build their own with the help of their advisor,\u201d Pool-Fuani said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OSGA President Eileen Moore said she appreciated that Workday can display the breakdown of degrees in smaller increments, especially for online students who often take classes in addition to their jobs and other responsibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI do like now the more realistic planning of six hours a semester or five hours a semester, that\u2019s sometimes all we can handle on top of other things,\u201d Moore said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pool-Funai emphasized that the degree maps on the website are a starting point, but they assume that the student is a first-time freshman with no transfer or concurrent credit, which is rare. Each Academic Plan will be different.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEveryone has their own journey,\u201d Pool-Funai said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OSGA\u2019s next event will be a virtual coffee hour at 9:30 am CST on Saturday. Students can join the Zoom and chat with fellow online students.
