The Graduation Planning System (GPS) is a degree audit tool available to students in FlashLine.
The degree audit is a summary of all of the requirements needed to earn an academic credential (degree, major, minor, certificate, etc.) for which the student is declared. It is a direct reflection of the requirements outlined in the University Catalog and is merged with the student’s academic record. The audit provides a real-time assessment of the student’s progress toward graduation and is the official record that determines eligibility for graduation.
