Activating Academic Planning

Important

Information and features vary according to the roles to which you belong and the permissions associated with those roles. For more information, contact your module manager or your campus support team.

In order for J1 Web academic planning to be implemented, the Advising Module Manager must activate it from the Advising Settings. Academic planning can be activated in two modes:

  • Setup allows Advising Administrators to build plans without making them available to advisors and students. Advising Administrators can build plans, share them with others, update them appropriately based on feedback, and designate them as ready to be published, but they cannot publish them. This ensures plans are not associated with students and advisors cannot access them until they are ready. Once your school is confident the plans are ready, you can switch Academic Planning to On.

  • On allows Advising Administrators to build plans and proceed with publishing them to make them available to advisors and students. Advising Administrators can build plans, share them with others, update them appropriately based on feedback, designate them as ready to be published, and publish them.

Warning

Activating academic planning is a permanent configuration that impacts Desktop, J1 Web, and Campus Portal workflows. Once it's activated, it can't be deactivated. The process significantly enhances the advising process and to fully utilize the features in the Advising Administration and Academic Advising hubs, it is recommended your school activate academic planning.
