Background • Advising Process at UP • Advisees meet with their Advisor every semester • AdviseUP created to facilitate this process • Notable Features • Advisee can view and change schedule • Templates: sample schedule for a major

Technical Details • Technologies • ASP.NET, JavaScript, C#, SQL Server • Restructured SQL database connected to Materialized Views of Banner data
Results • Application testing conducted on April 3rd • 45 Advisees tested the application and gave feedback • 3.63 average ease of use score on a scale of 1(hard) to 5 (easy) • 93% of testers said they would use the application
User Comments • “I liked them. They helped see very clearly what needed to be fixed.” • “Only 5 semesters visible at a time. Drag and drop doesn't work if you want to drop on a previous or future semester that isn't currently visible.”
Project Challenges • Banner Data / Materialized Views • What, where, how data is stored • Required a redesign of the Internal Database • LDAP vs. CAS authentication • Policy considerations • Template creation • Data consistency and purging
Conclusion • Scheduling and advising application • Extended existing project • Could be used next year at UP
