SAGE Reference for Faculty

SAGE contains tools useful to faculty and advisors including Student Planning (SAGE for
Advisors), and Course and Grade Rosters (SAGE for Faculty). 

Student Planning is a tool designed to help students plan their path to degree completion.
Students may create a plan for future semesters, schedule course sections, track progress, request review of their plan by their advisor, and register for courses all in one place. Advisors assist along the way by reviewing and approving plans and helping students move planned courses around to ensure timely degree completion.

Review Planned Sections for a Particular Semester

With Course Plan you may review your advisees’ plans and approve or deny individual courses.
The advisor’s guidance will be reflected on the student’s view of the plan. Note: Denying a
course will not prevent the student from registering but rather reflects advisor recommendation.
