UPenn's Inefficient& Fragmented Registration Process

Missing features, disconnected workflows, limited guidance, and difficulty locating key resources results in unnecessary time, confusion, and reliance on external platforms.
Solution

Student-Centered Redesign of the Registration Flow

Prioritizing features based on student needs at different points in the semester. Clear hierarchy of information in a more intuitive interface, integrated guidance, along with progress indicators for multi-step actions.

Implementation

The redesign lets students compare schedule scenarios side by side, register for courses 3× faster or add them to alternative plans, and track permission requests with clear progress indicators.

Degree tracking organizes courses by semester, integrates grading information, and clearly shows completed and remaining requirements with easy advisor access.
