The My Academic Progress (MAP) system served the needs of UMBC’s Advising Community for ~15 years.  In the early 1990s, DoIT along with the Registrars Office sought to better meet the needs of the Advising Community and digitized what advisers did manually.  MAP was a useful tool that helped advisers gauge student’s progress towards graduation and helped advisers focus on career and academic advising rather than thumbing through various papers.  MAP was an innovative early degree audit before there was such a thing as electronic degree audits.    

In 2010, after UMBC implemented the SA system, advisers and students began using SA’s robust rules driven degree audit and what-if scenarios.  DoIT has kept the MAP software running for historical inquiries.  With each passing year the inquiries into MAP have declined and need to keep the software available and operational has become problematic and expensive.

MAP will be decommissioned on July 15th 2015.  If after July 15, 2015 you need access to historical MAP data, please log a case https://rt.umbc.edu/UMBC/RequestHelp.html and we will provide you the necessary information.
