The announcement describes a development collaboration, not a platform launch. The planned system is intended to help students access information on programme requirements, course-registration eligibility and academic deadlines, while giving advisers tools to prepare and follow up on meetings. The announcement outlines proposed functions; it does not say the platform is already operating. ## Data ### Agreed platform scope Scope described in the signed development agreement.
