MavPlanner and MavScheduler

MyMav now includes MavPlanner and MavScheduler – tools that grant students the ability to work with academic advisors to create a personalized multi-year degree plan directly in MyMav.

The academic planning technology in MavPlanner improves class scheduling, assists academic advisors, keeps the student’s degree plan up to date, and auto-generates suggestions. It improves degree completion rates by helping students with the following:

  • Track degree requirements
  • Avoid taking the wrong courses or unadvised course combinations
  • Avoid issues with transferring credits
  • Graduate on time

MavPlanner promotes on-time graduation and drives student success by being streamlined, personalized, automated, and insightful. Using the planner creates a well-rounded connection between academic advisors and students.

MavPlanner and MavScheduler Features
Quick course add uses course numbers to add courses to a student planner directly from the MavPlanner homepage. Students can access this feature on the MavPlanner homepage, while academic advisors can access it through UTA Central Advising.

 

Move courses to selected term - Unassigned courses can be moved to a selected term using a drop-down list.

View course enrolled status- MavPlanner shows the status of all courses added to the planner that were completed at UTA, transferred from another institution, and planned for a future term.


Course placeholder--  allow students to plan for courses in their class schedule that satisfy degree requirements. Placeholders can be assigned to specific terms and will show as a temporary course in a schedule that must be replaced by a required course in the assigned term.

Notify student- Students can stay up to date with advisor guidance and recommendations with the Notify Student button. MavPlanner will display a note to review and acknowledge comments and changes to the planner.

Schedule visualizer - When schedule options are generated in MavScheduler, the schedule visualizer allows students to view and print color-coded schedule options based on preference, selected courses, and breaks to help visualize which possible schedule set would best fit a school-life balance.
