Degree Audit ToolHealth Professions Institutions of Higher Education are not like traditional institutionsHP institutions use this line of thinking internally as well, creating internal silos for all things academic and student affairs relatedNo degree audit software since we do not have need for course equivalencies, but need for degree audit tool since all programs require transfer credit
Degree Audit ToolFind the right opportunity to introduce changeMUST be a group effort with input from all involved, especially functional usersCommunicate need and solution to stakeholdersProvide appropriate training for all involved so that everyone feels comfortable before change is implementedSeek and USE feedback from stakeholdersMake sure new tool represents each unit, taking into account each unit’s unique needs Do not FORCE change; Build it and they will come
