Announcement The GT Degree Roadmap is out now!
Hi everyone! My name is Nicholas Stone, and I am the 25/26 Joint Vice President of Information Technology (JVPIT) for the GT Student Government Association (SGA). After several semesters of hard work, GT SGA is proud to announce the beta launch for the GT Degree Roadmap! Our incredible Internal Tools team has developed an application to effectively manage your multi-year course registration plans. The Roadmap is an intuitive drag-and-drop system which highlights up-to-date prerequisite errors and allows you to visualize your desired courses through an interactive Course Tree. Our dashboard allows you to debug course conflicts and quickly view courses on Course Critique to compare and contrast GPAs. This is not just a 4-year planning tool: It is purpose-built to accommodate the needs of incoming freshmen and the continuing student. If you are in need of navigating Add/Drop this week, or looking to plan out your future semesters, use the link below to speed up your process. Thanks!
Check out the Roadmap here: https://gt-degree-roadmap.vercel.app

This is awesome, except I wish people could fill the pain of doing the same with with notecards.
Word of advice for freshman who use this: understand that the perfect college and schedule load you create your freshman year will change a million times before you graduate. A course might be full or not offered a certain semester in the future, you might fail a prerequisite. You might get an internship one summer when you wanted to take ECE3040. You get the point.
Use this tool to help navigate (along with your advisor) the curriculum, not as something further to get anxiety about.

Thanks for making this! Is there a way to count transfer credits and count the residency rule requirements?

Looking good, have you loaded this on an iPhone 15 pro? It doesn’t all fit on the screen

I really like this tool. Makes planning much easier. I believe I have found an error though in a pre-req tree. NRE 2120 currently shows pre-reqs for MATH 1551 and PHYS 2211. According to OSCAR, this class does not have any pre-reqs. Just some input. Is there a place to submit bugs or issues?

Where are you pulling the requirements from and how do you plan to account for changes in the curriculum in the future? I think developing anything like this is incredible and I applaud the effort, but I shudder at the thought of the issues it can cause both students and administrators across campus if it ends up being just another "awesome one off" and not a long term solution and supported tool.
