In AMS, students are categorized based on whether they are pursuing a degree or engaging with individual courses without being enrolled in a degree program. Understanding these distinctions helps faculty and administrators track student progress effectively.
| Feature | Degree Students | StudyTrack Students |
|---|---|---|
| Enrollment Status | Enrolled in a formal degree program, progressing through structured degree requirements. | Not enrolled in a degree program but associated with the college to engage in individual courses. |
| Progress Tracking | Tracked across multiple courses, aligned with degree milestones and requirements. | Progress is tracked on a course-by-course basis, independent of any formal degree structure. |
| Course Engagement and Completion | The college tracks engagement and can submit a course for completion leading to academic credits. | Course engagement is tracked, but the college cannot submit the courses for completion or credits until degree enrollment. |
| Eligibility for Credits | Eligible to receive academic credits upon completing courses and receiving approvals. | Not eligible for academic credits unless formally enrolled in a degree later. |
By tracking both Degree and StudyTrack students, AMS ensures that all learning activities are monitored and logged. This allows colleges to maintain compliance with accreditation standards while keeping flexibility for students to pursue formal qualifications.
