An AI adviser that has actually read the bulletin.
No hallucinated course lists. GradGPS reads your transcript PDF (or the classes you check off yourself), matches every course against the real Penn State catalog — not a simplified copy — and plans your remaining semesters, so the route it gives you is one the registrar would agree with.
Three steps from transcript to graduation.
No spreadsheets, no guessing which requirements you’ve already knocked out, no waiting two weeks for an advising appointment to find out.
Upload your transcript — or enter your classes
Grab the app from the App Store, export your unofficial transcript from LionPATH (Academic Records → Unofficial Transcript — free and instant), and drop it in. Every course, credit, and grade parsed in seconds. No transcript? Walk through your major’s plan semester by semester and check off what you took, plus any AP or transfer credit.
Pick your major
Search any Penn State major and add your concentration. Switching majors? Re-run the audit and instantly see what still counts.
Follow your route
You get a full degree audit plus a semester-by-semester timeline to graduation, recalculated every time your record changes.
Watch a real route come together.
Every stop is a semester — completed ones checked off, a “you are here” marker on the term in progress, and a dashed line running all the way to your graduation pin.
What the audit actually checks.
Penn State’s requirements are full of alternatives, credit pools, and rules about which course may count for what. GradGPS models them rather than flattening them.
A real degree audit
Every requirement group in your major, checked against your record — including alternatives like MATH 110 or MATH 140, and credit pools that let you choose.
Gen eds, handled
Arts, sciences, humanities, cultures, quantification, writing-intensive — all eight domains tracked, with the one-course-one-category rules applied correctly.
Official plan sequencing
Where Penn State publishes a Suggested Academic Plan, your timeline follows it — prerequisites in order, credits balanced, reflowed around what you’ve already taken.
Minors and certificates
Declare up to three from 207 University Park credentials — the audit tracks them alongside your major, and the timeline schedules what’s left into the room your plan already has.
Reroutes in real time
Change your major, add a class, drop one, move one to another semester — the audit and timeline rebuild instantly, and a move is only offered where the prerequisites still work. Your plan is never a stale PDF from freshman orientation.
Private by default
Your transcript belongs to you — it’s used to build your plan and nothing else, it never goes to a third-party AI service, and you can delete it any time.
