Meeting demands, expanding capabilities
redLantern™ has developed an innovative software solution, u.direct™, (formerly known as Degree Completion Planner) that works as a powerful advising and planning tool to provide students with a clear path to meet their graduation goals. This interactive tool allows faculty and staff to build a template of courses that will fulfill requirements for degree programs offered at your institution. Students can view these templates and select the courses they want to take as they develop a detailed term-by-term, multi-year, academic course plan.
