How does Degree Planner work?
Degree Planner collates data from ctcLink about student records, including:
- courses completed
- grades conferred
- in-progress courses
- incomplete courses
- registered courses
- transfer courses
- test scores
- milestones
- placements
It also complies information about our courses from the course catalog, including:
- course descriptions
- course prerequisites
- minimum grade requirements
- available section offerings
- class modality
- class dates and timing
- location
Degree Planner then filters that information through our catalog-based degree and certificate programs, including:
- degree descriptions
- degree prerequisites
- total credits needed
Degree Planner then deploys a priority-based system using degree maps and historical course availability to generate a timeline of outstanding courses/electives needed to complete a degree in the least amount of time possible.
