The academic view gives an overview of the student's academic
progress in the form of a course map. The dots represent a
course that the student has taken, is currently taken, or can
take in the future. Clicking on them reveals more information

student has already taken the course, the grades received or
projects student prefer to share with counsellors.
Post-OHS
The Post-OHS section gives information about the student's plan
after graduation. It contains 4 sub-sections: Target
Universities, Academic Progress, Desired Majors, and Essay and
Reports. Target Universities show statistical information on
test scores, GPA, and acceptance rate about the universities
they would like to get into. Average GPA shows the student's GPA
history with relation to that of past students who were admitted
to their target universities. Desired Majors show how many of
the available courses related to their desired majors they have
taken so far. Finally, Essays and Reports lets the students
share relevant documents to the counselors such as essays or
portfolio and get feedback on them.
Extracurricular
The extracurricular section lets the students share details
about their lives outside of school. Badges show students'
achievements in extracurricular activities such as clubs
leaderships, athletic records, volunteering activities or
internships in a resume-like format while Timeline lets the
students briefly share status updates about events and
activities significant to their lives to inform their
counsellors and teachers, which can be something like a one-week
bootcamp or a sickness that caused him to de-prioritize academic
duties.
