> On behalf of the Degree Tracker Project Team, it is our pleasure to announce the exclusive advising preview of the new Degree Search Website.  We invite your feedback on content and layout, as we want to make sure that we are representing your majors correctly.  The website includes information about the degree programs offered, ways in which students will be able to sort/filter these programs, and if you click on the name of the major or picture on the ‘trading card,’ you’ll find major details, a four-year plan, in some cases transfer course equivalencies and career planning information.  The URL for Degree Search is http://degreesearch.arizona.edu/.  You’re welcome to review the website off-campus but will need to connect to VPN in order to do so.
> 
> In order to guide your experience with the website, see our Mosaic Community website for a list of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) that will help you understand some of the nuances of the website and also some of its bugs (still some details to work out).  By reading the FAQs you will also find out where we derived the information that you see.
> 
> We are planning a public go-live at the end of September, and would like to receive your feedback by Wednesday, September 21 (of course the earlier the better) J. There are multiple venues to give feedback before the go-live.  Of course, there will be changes made after the go-live but we definitely want to make sure that accurate information is reflected in your majors. 
> 
> There are several venues in which you can provide feedback:
> 
> 1.       In order to allow our team to efficiently respond to feedback and make required changes, please provide feedback via our community website at:  http://uamosaicworkshops.ning.com/group/degree-tracker-degree-search.
> 
> 2.       If you wish to attend a live feedback session where we will be demonstrating the website, answering questions and responding to concerns you may come to any of the sessions listed on the community website. If you saw this schedule in an earlier email and placed a time on your calendar, please note that some locations have changed.
> 
> We hope you enjoy exploring the site and look forward to your input and suggestions.

> With sincerest thanks,
