Overview

Coursedog has a multi-faceted integration with Degree Works across different products.
Course Demand Projections makes use of Degree Works audit data (GET only) for its demand projections.
In Curriculum Management, our “Scribe Generator” makes it easy to export requirements into the Degree Works application.
We follow best practices around architecture and security and do not store any Tier 1 personal identifiable information.
Coursedog is an Ellucian partner and won the 2021 Ellucian Rising Star Partner of the Year Award.

Our integration with Degree Works requires the following:

You must be using Degree Works release 5.0.4 or newer.
Your Degree Works Degree Audit solution must be fully implemented.
Degree Works student data has been "force extracted" (e.g. export RAD11FORCE=ALL) at least once per term and/or prior to running Students merges in Coursedog.
Degree Audits must have been generated at least once per term.
Degree Works services APIs are configured and access is provided to Coursedog (details below under “Access”).
You have deployed the Degree Works Responsive Dashboard.

If your Degree Works environment is behind a firewall or other security measure, you will need to open communication to Coursedog IP ranges.
Your institution will need to create a dedicated user in Degree Works that allows Coursedog to connect to your Degree Works platform.
That user would need to have the following roles:

RSAUDIT	DWTESELF	TEAAUDIT	RSWHATIF	NOREFER
ANYSTUID	ADVISIDS	SDAUDREV	SDAUDRUN	SDWORKS

Coursedog’s Scribe Generator converts existing requirements and their rules into Degree Works scribe with a single click.

Coursedog has built a one-way integration with Degree Works APIs to run batch student auits used for our Course Demand Projections module.
CDP leverages historical enrollment, audit data, and pathways to ensure you are offering the sections and seats students need to graduate on time.
In short, it helps you answer questions like, “Does our academic schedule align with student demand?"
