uAchieve Degree Planner Project
Overview
We are providing all SSU undergraduate and graduate students with access to the uAchieve Degree Planner, Degree Audit, and Scheduler by Fall 2026. This is in response to Graduation Initiative 2025 Equity Priority 3, which mandates that every campus ensure students have equitable access to a digital degree planner by the end of 2025. SSU has approval to defer the full implementation until Fall 2026.
