Canvas functionality for module selection/tracking

[AlexUnderwood1]

Hi all,

Apologies if this is an amateur question. My university presently uses Canvas LMS for course/module management. In future, they're planning to move towards a more US system in which students from various faculties can select modules from others (i.e., an economics student can take a module in philosophy, etc.).

Essentially, they require software which can monitor student module selection over a three year undergraduate degree - registering which modules are compulsory for a given course over a three year period, notifying an administrator each year for those a student will need to take in others, and allowing them to select modules from other courses where this doesn't limit their capacity to complete core modules. 

This seems like a difficult ask, but they've asked me to find a solution, either using our existing tech or finding something else. Is it something Canvas might be adapted to do (potentially alongside an additional product?) 

Thank you to anyone who took the time to read.

Best wishes,

Alex
