Streamline credit evaluation and unlock student success from day one.

Every year, millions of students enter new institutions with prior coursework — credits from community colleges, dual enrollment programs, military service, or previous four-year schools. For these students, the path to graduation can be unclear. Credit acceptance policies vary, articulation agreements can be outdated or opaque, and the process of evaluating transcripts can delay progress, erode student confidence, and lead to lost enrollments. That’s where GradPlan Inbound comes in.

GradPlan Inbound is a specialized extension of GradPlan — The Graduation Engine™, designed to bring clarity, speed, and intelligence to the transfer and credit evaluation process. Built on the same AI-powered foundation as the core GradPlan platform, Inbound helps institutions evaluate incoming credits more accurately, align them to degree requirements instantly, and generate clear academic plans for transfer students—often before they even set foot on campus.

For students, GradPlan Inbound offers a radically transparent transfer experience. With just a few clicks, they can simulate how their existing coursework will apply to different majors, programs, and institutions. The result: informed decisions, fewer surprises, and a faster, more confident path to graduation.

For colleges and universities, Inbound automates what is often a slow, manual, and error-prone process. By ingesting transcripts, parsing course descriptions, and referencing your institution’s credit equivalency rules in real-time, GradPlan Inbound eliminates bottlenecks and accelerates onboarding. Students no longer wait weeks for evaluations. Admissions, advising, and registrar teams get a full picture of credit applicability within minutes—not days.

But Inbound does more than evaluate. It plans. Once transfer credits are mapped, GradPlan Inbound constructs a personalized academic pathway for each student, aligned with institutional policies and up-to-date course offerings. These pathways account for prerequisites, credit limits, departmental rules, and upcoming course rotations—giving transfer students a plan that’s not just theoretically valid, but practically executable.

For institutions seeking to grow enrollment through transfer pipelines, GradPlan Inbound is a competitive differentiator. It demonstrates a commitment to transparency and efficiency, two of the biggest concerns for prospective transfer students. It also provides insights into transfer trends, course equivalency gaps, and articulation opportunities, helping institutions fine-tune recruitment strategies and strengthen relationships with feeder schools.

Integration is seamless. GradPlan Inbound connects with SIS, CRM, and degree audit systems, and leverages your existing articulation agreements while offering tools to improve and expand them. Whether you’re a community college seeking smoother outbound transfers, or a four-year institution receiving a high volume of transfer students, GradPlan Inbound adapts to your needs.

In a landscape where transfer students often face an uphill climb, GradPlan Inbound changes the equation. It equips institutions with the tools to serve them better—and gives students the clarity and momentum they need to thrive.
