Help Students Evaluate Course Changes with Clearer, Faster Degree Mapping
Automate credit intersection analysis to show how completed coursework applies to a new course reduce manual advising effort, and give students better visibility into academic pathways.
Course change advising is often manual, slow, and difficult to scale. Advisors spend significant time reviewing completed coursework, comparing it against target program requirements, and explaining what will transfer and what remains. Students, meanwhile, often lack a clear view of how switching majors will affect their academic progress, timeline, and remaining credits.
CampusMind’s Course Advisor Agent helps streamline this process by integrating with the SIS, analyzing completed coursework against target degree requirements, and generating structured advising outputs. It can identify accepted credits, highlight remaining requirements, estimate time to completion, and support consistent advising workflows. The result is a faster, more transparent course change evaluation process with less manual effort for staff.
What This Agent Does
Student Data Integration The agent connects with Banner SIS to review a student’s completed courses, grades, and the requirements for the new degree program.
Credit Transfer Review It compares completed coursework against the new program requirements and shows which credits can transfer, which may need review, and which courses are still required.
Program Change Report The agent creates a clear report with accepted credits, remaining requirements, and an estimated path to complete the new program.
Advisor Workflow Support It helps advisors move faster by handling the first layer of course change analysis. Advisors can then spend more time on exceptions, policy questions, and complex student cases.
Student Transparency Students get a simple summary of what the program change means for them, including transferable credits, remaining coursework, and the likely impact on their graduation timeline.

Integrate with SIS: Set up the integration between the Course Advisor Agent and the Banner SIS to pull the necessary academic data.
Configure Degree Requirements: Upload and configure the degree program requirements for all potential target courses within the system.
Customize Output Reports: Define how the agent should present the credit transfer information, including any required academic pathways and policy rules.
Deploy and Monitor: Once the system is set up, deploy the agent to assist students in evaluating course changes. Advisors can use it to guide students through the process, with manual review available if needed.
