Independent study is a part of academia that allows students to pursue self-directed learning under the institution’s faculty. The educational institution approves the requests through the independent study approval process. The process goes through multiple stages such as reviewing the study plan, ensuring it meets academic standards, and coordinating the different departments. Manually handling this process can be hectic and challenging. It can often lead to delays and inconsistencies, unable to deliver the right results. It can have a great impact on the student’s academic journey. How can this problem be negated and offer a seamless service to students? A workflow automation tool is the best solution when it comes to transforming manual, processes into automated, efficient ones. Automated workflows make sure that all the reviews and approvals are acquired on time with great precision and compliance. This way the burden on the administrative and office staff is lessened and the students are offered the right service to their requirements.
