uAchieve project updates

The uAchieve project team is working to upgrade the software and move from “on-premises” to cloud-hosted. The project team recently met with the vendor, CollegeSource, to do a first look at updates to the audit, batch, and transfer articulation. End users should not expect to see any major changes to the interface and functionality. We are moving toward an additional functional walkthrough and then validation and user acceptance testing. Project updates can be found on the project page on the Academic Support Resources website. 

We continue to work with CollegeSource on the uAchieve Planner contract, so the timeline for when that work will begin remains unknown. Our existing Graduation Planner has had a banner message posted to remind students that the planner will be decommissioned on January 30, 2026. 

Graduation Planner will be retired January 2026

Graduation Planner will be retired on January 30, 2026. While Academic Support Resources (ASR) is planning to implement a new tool for students, there will be a period of time when no long-term course planning tool is available. 

The retirement is due to multiple factors, but primarily because it will no longer function once the uAchieve Cloud project is completed (mid-February 2026), and it will not meet digital accessibility requirements by the April 2026 deadline. 

There is no current timeline for the new long-term planning tool yet, but ASR will begin making plans once the uAchieve Cloud project is complete. This means there will be a gap between when Graduation Planner is retired and the new tool is launched. The intent is to make this period of time as short as possible.

Communication to students about this transition will be handled centrally, coordinated by each campus’ Registrar’s Office. A message will be added to Graduation Planner in early October informing them of the retirement timeline and directing them to more information. Additional communications to students will be available for reference on the uAchieve cloud project page. Colleges, departments, and advisors are welcome to supplement those communications for their students.  

A town hall meeting was held on September 25, and a recording of this meeting will be available the first week of October. More information (and future updates) is available on the uAchieve cloud project page.
