Welcome to Agentic Career-Aligned Electives thatpoints a student's open electives at the job they want.
Whether a student can switch toward a certificate and still graduate on time is a four-system question. Risely's agents answer it from the audit, the catalog, and the schedule, and an advisor approves the change.
Electives · aimed at a role
target: data analyst
Risely's agents: reading his degree audit · four elective slots open
The real choices are the open slots.
Most of a degree is already decided. Risely's agents read the audit and show exactly where the free choices sit, which is the only place a career goal can change anything.
The choices a student really has are the open slots, and most students never see them listed.
A role names skills. The catalog names courses.
Risely's agents match the words a job posting uses to the courses this institution actually offers, so the elective a student picks builds something an employer asked for.
Risely's agents match the posting's own words to courses the catalog actually offers.
One prerequisite decides whether the switch fits.
Risely's agents find the course that has to move first and check that it still runs when it needs to. A certificate fits inside the degree, or it does not, and the student learns which today.
DATA-310 needs STAT-210 first, and STAT-210 currently sits in spring.
before
fall · STAT-210 not yet taken
spring · DATA-310 blocked
after
fall · STAT-210 moves forward
next fall · DATA-310 fits
One move, and the certificate fits inside the degree he was already finishing.
The graduation date gets checked before anything moves.
Risely's agents confirm the credit count, the sequence, and the date, then hold the plan change for the advisor. The student gets the answer in the hour they ask.
The student gets the answer in the hour he asks. His advisor still signs the plan change.
One thing moves. The electives re-aim.
A changed career goal, a new certificate on the books, a course that stops being offered. Each one changes which electives make sense, and Risely's agents re-aim them the same way.
