Academic Planner

Academic PlannerPlan the whole
degree.

A comprehensive academic planning platform that connects degree progress, course planning, and schedule optimization to help students graduate on time.

Key capabilities

Everything you need to run academic planner as an operational system.

Degree Planner

Turn the degree audit into a term-by-term plan. Requirements, prerequisites, and catalog year rules resolve automatically so every planned term is actually valid.

What-If Scenarios

Model a major change, an added minor, or a different catalog year and see the impact on requirements, credits, and time to degree before committing.

Schedule Planner

Build conflict-free weekly schedules from any planned term, with live section availability, seat counts, blocked times, and instructor preferences.

GPA Calculator

Simulate term and cumulative GPA against planned courses and target grades — including what it takes to reach honors, aid, or program thresholds.

Advisor Insights

Advisors see planned terms, off-plan risk, and unmet requirements across their caseload — and can comment on a plan without rebuilding it.

Course Demand Intelligence

Aggregate student plans into forward-looking demand by course, section, and term so the schedule is built from real intent instead of last year's history.

Graduation bottleneck analysis

Surface the gateway courses and prerequisite chains that stall progression, ranked by how many students they delay.

Course demand forecasting

Project enrollment by term using planned courses, historical patterns, and program growth — with confidence ranges leadership can plan against.

Capacity planning

Compare projected demand to seats, sections, rooms, and instructor load so you add capacity where students actually need it.

Built for outcomes

Accelerate the path to graduation.

Academic Planner connects the degree audit to the class schedule, so students always know what to take next — and the institution knows what to offer.

  • Audit-accurate plans

    Plans are built from degree audit data, so what a student maps out is what the institution will actually count toward the degree.

  • From plan to registration

    Every planned term converts into conflict-free schedule options with live section and seat data — no re-entering course choices.

  • Clear progress, visually

    Students see credits earned, in progress, and remaining, plus an estimated graduation term that updates as the plan changes.

  • Decisions before consequences

    What-if scenarios and GPA simulation let students test changes safely instead of discovering the cost a term too late.

Why students choose Academic Planner

  • Know exactly what's next

    The plan always shows the next right course, not a list of everything ever offered.

  • Registration without the scramble

    Walk into registration with a validated plan and conflict-free schedule options ready to go.

  • Test the big decisions

    Change a major, add a minor, or simulate a GPA target and see the real impact instantly.

What institutions get

  • Forward-looking demand

    Planned terms replace guesswork in schedule building and capacity decisions.

  • Bottleneck visibility

    See which courses and prerequisite chains delay the most students, term over term.

  • Advising leverage

    Advisors spend appointments on judgment calls instead of manual plan construction.
