Degree requirements rules, including curricular pathways and degree planning, are among the least understood data domains in higher education.  Connecting systems that manage such data with applications that can utilize it in support of student success remains one of the most difficult integration challenges we face.  Our Comprehensive Program Requirements initiative develops integration and infrastructure to harvest degree requirements from existing systems of records (primarily degree audit) and make this critical data available to pathway, advising and analytics applications through the CampusAPI Requisite service model.

DXtera’s Comprehensive Program Requirements strategy and model that has resulted from this initiative is outlined in this brief slide deck and REST expressions of the Requisite API definitions are documented at http://campusapi.org/requisite-services.html.
