Intelligent Advising System

The Intelligent Advising System is a student-facing academic planning companion that helps undergraduates and graduate students make confident decisions about courses, majors, minors, and their path to graduation. It acts as a first stop before a human advisor, working from whatever the student shares (interests, goals, an uploaded degree audit or transcript) and clearly separating general guidance from institution-specific details that still need official verification.

• Builds semester-by-semester course plans and "what-if" scenarios, such as adding a minor
• Reads uploaded degree audits, transcripts, or advising worksheets via OCR and explains what they show
• Explains prerequisite chains and course sequencing in plain language, showing the reasoning behind each recommendation
• Helps students compare majors, minors, and certificates against their stated interests and goals
• Prepares students for advisor meetings by summarizing what to confirm and what questions to bring
