About the redesign.
Registration at UNT is split across four pages: holds, advising, schedule planner, course catalog. They live in different parts of the portal and don't share state. Students bounce between them trying to figure out what's blocking them, what to take, and when they can register. I rebuilt the flow as one student lens and one advisor lens reading from the same record.
Pick a role below. The student view is what Aaliyah sees on registration day. The advisor view is what advisors use to clear caseload before the Friday escalation.

Aaliyah Mensah
Sophomore, Comm Design UX path. First-gen, Pell + Texas Grant, working fifteen hours a week on campus. One advising hold is blocking her Fall registration. She's the persona the student side is designed around.
Open student portal →Sign in as staff
Marisol Reyes
CVAD academic advisor. Twelve students on her caseload this week, three escalating to the registrar by Friday. She needs to work fast, not browse, so the staff view is denser and uses the codes she actually works in.
Open advising portal →Two views, same data.
Both lenses read from the same student record. Three things change between them:
- Vocabulary. Students get plain English. Advisors get the codes they use day-to-day.
- Density. The student page handles one task at a time. The advisor caseload puts eight rows on one screen because of speed.
- Buttons. Students see “Book advising.” Advisors see “Clear Holds,” “Add note.”
The type, color, and grid are shared. Only the language and layout change.
