At Winston Salem State University, we use five interconnected systems to communicate and manage curriculum information.
 |
EAB Navigate (Navigate360) is a student success CRM used by advisors and students to schedule appointments, track academic progress, and connect with campus resources. It includes an Early Alert system to flag at-risk students, progress reporting tools, and an AI assistant that provides course-planning guidance around the clock. |
 |
RamPath is a degree planning and audit tool that allows students to map out coursework semester by semester. It generates a Degree Progress Audit (DARS) showing completed and remaining requirements for a student’s program. In the final semester, the audit converts into a graduation contract. |
 |
Banner (Ellucian Banner) is the institution’s central Student Information System (SIS) and ERP. It serves as the official system of record for course offerings, registration, academic records, financial aid, grades, and transcripts. Most other curriculum systems draw their data directly from Banner. |
| |
University Webpages provide publicly accessible, frequently updated curriculum information, including program descriptions, degree requirement check sheets, course listings, and advising contacts. They supplement the formal catalog with real-time updates, FAQs, and direct links to planning tools. |
| |
The University Catalog is the official, authoritative record of the institution’s curriculum. Published annually, it includes all degree and certificate requirements, course descriptions, academic policies, and faculty rosters. The catalog year in which a student enrolls typically governs their degree requirements. |
Together, these systems form a connected ecosystem — Banner anchors the data, Navigate and RamPath support advising and planning, and webpages and the catalog communicate requirements to students and the public.
