SAGE Reference for Students

SAGE 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. 

Faculty assist along the way by reviewing and approving plans and helping students move
planned courses around to ensure timely degree completion.
