Empower students to plan across institutions with confidence and clarity.

Higher education no longer follows a straight line. Today’s students may begin their journey at a community college, take summer classes at another institution, earn military credit abroad, or follow a conditional admissions path that hinges on performance elsewhere. The traditional degree audit system wasn’t built for this kind of mobility. GradPlan Connect was.

Built on the core intelligence of The Graduation Engine™, GradPlan Connect gives students and institutions the tools to plan academic pathways that span multiple schools and credit sources—seamlessly, transparently, and with full confidence in how each piece will fit together.

For students, GradPlan Connect is a powerful planning assistant that answers one of the most important questions in modern academic life: “Will this class count?” Whether they’re planning to take a course at a community college over the summer, evaluating how prior military or non-traditional credits apply, or trying to meet the terms of a conditional transfer agreement, GradPlan Connect removes uncertainty. With intelligent degree mapping and real-time policy alignment, it shows students how each potential course contributes to their graduation path—before they enroll.

For institutions, GradPlan Longitude provides visibility into a student’s broader academic journey. It ingests external transcripts, recognizes transfer credit patterns, and applies your school’s equivalency and residency policies automatically. Admissions offices can evaluate applicants more quickly and more fairly. Advising teams can give definitive, policy-aligned answers. Registrars gain a tool that scales with growing transfer volume—and students gain a system that meets them where they are.

Consider a student accepted on the condition they complete a year of community college with a B average. With GradPlan Longitude, both schools can coordinate expectations, track progress, and proactively plan for a seamless transition. Or a veteran returning to school with dozens of ACE-recommended credits — GradPlan Longitude parses those credits, applies institutional rules, and shows exactly how they impact the student’s path to graduation.

And for students taking a summer class elsewhere? GradPlan Longitude checks the course against institutional policy, confirms applicability, and shows how the decision affects graduation planning—eliminating guesswork and avoiding lost time.

GradPlan Longitude also enhances institutional strategy. By analyzing aggregate transfer behavior, it reveals patterns in student movement, identifies commonly accepted credits, and helps shape future articulation agreements. Institutions can partner more effectively with feeder schools, increase transfer student retention, and reduce wasted credits that delay graduation.

Best of all, GradPlan Longitude integrates directly into the GradPlan ecosystem and connects with your SIS and degree audit tools. It doesn't replace your systems—it makes them smarter.

In a world where student success depends on flexibility, portability, and transparency, GradPlan Longitude is the tool that makes cross-institutional planning a core strength—not a complication.
