The Degree Student Activity page within the Academic Management System (AMS) offers a comprehensive view of a student's progress toward completing their degree. Colleges can use this page to monitor the cumulative performance of each student across courses and track critical milestones such as course completions, submission of final grades, and the necessary academic approvals for degree completion before submitting the student for graduation.

Degree Progress Overview: Administrators can quickly assess a student's progress toward fulfilling degree requirements, including both tier-based progress and course completion:
- Courses and Tiers Progress: The page provides a breakdown of courses and tiers that are in progress, completed, or pending. The degree progress is calculated by assigning a percentage of completion to both individual courses and tiers, which are weighted according to the ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System) or equivalent points. Tiers are particularly important as they group courses that belong to different levels of a degree program, and completion of all courses within a tier contributes to advancing overall degree progress. For more details, see How Degree and Tier Progress Are Calculated?

Course Engagement Details: Each course a student engages with in the degree program is displayed with expandable details that provide a comprehensive view of the student's progress in that course. This includes performance metrics such as grades, progress on completed requirements, and the total workload hours fulfilled.
