CAPP

Understanding Degree Audits

What is CAPP?

CAPP is an acronym for Curriculum, Advising, and Program Planning.  It is a comprehensive module, within Banner, that offers flexible student tracking towards degree or award completion.  CAPP helps you navigate through sometimes complex and diverse course requirements, giving you the ability to comprehensively track a student’s progress toward that goal.  This goal could be one of the following:

• Degree
• Diploma
• Certificate
• Another set of requirements

Why should I use CAPP?

“What will it take for me to graduate? Am I on schedule? What if I were to add a minor? What if I were to change my major?”

These are all questions that are commonly asked by students; questions that CAPP can handle.  CAPP will allow students and advisors to obtain quick and accurate information that shows just where they are on their path to completing their goal.  This will in turn allow advisors more time for advising, rather than spending hours plotting out a student’s progress toward completion of a goal. 

Who can access CAPP?

CAPP can only be accessed by employees of SIUE who are advisors.  In the near future, CAPP will be accessible for any student enrolled at SIUE.
