Degree Audit & Degree Conferral demo

What the demo shows

Registrars audit requirements, substitutions, honors and diploma names before conferral

An Audit agent re-runs every requirement from the transcript and the catalog-year text on its own, compares its result with the degree audit system and traces each difference to the rule that was coded wrong. An Exception agent ties each substitution and waiver to a signed petition and checks the signers' authority. An Honors agent computes Latin honors exactly as the catalog year defines them, rounding and transfer grades included. A Name agent compares the diploma print file with the legal and approved preferred name, accents included. Coordinators prepare, the college's dean's office certifies each candidate on a roll beside its diploma proof, and the University Registrar confers and locks the print file.
