The first goal was to design a home page that feels cleaner and highlights the features students use most. I prioritized displaying the class schedule first, with an arrow button on the right that leads to the Add/Drop Class feature. 

On the sidebar, I reorganized the original six sections into four broader categories — My Profile, Academic, Financial, and Support — consolidating overlapping content and linking directly to the tools students need.

Next, I redesigned the Section Attributes area to make degree requirements clearer and more actionable. Each requirement category now includes a labeled progress bar that shows how much of that requirement the student has completed, along with the specific section attributes that fulfill it.  

With the final prototype, the course registration process becomes more straightforward.

Right before signing up for a course, students now have a clear visual of their current schedule and can see exactly how a selected class fits with the rest of their courses before adding it to the schedule.

This directly resolves the most cited pain point from the initial research — the tabbing system — by replacing the linear, one-at-a-time navigation with a unified view that keeps everything accessible at once.
