Have you ever wished you had the ability to include follow up notes in a student's file? Have you wished for a program that would automatically provide the student with a list of the courses he/she still needs to take to complete their degree? If you answered "yes" to any of these, please join John Allred, UAA Registrar, for an introduction to Degree Works, the new student advising software scheduled to be available to faculty and students in late spring 2009.
