Courseplan is a four-year academic planning tool built exclusively for Cornell University undergraduates. Developed by Cornell DTI, it connects directly to your college, major, and minor requirements so you can see at a glance which requirements you have fulfilled, which are still outstanding, and how the courses you’re considering will affect your progress. Instead of manually cross-referencing the course catalog, the registrar’s handbook, and your own spreadsheets, Courseplan keeps everything in one place and updates automatically as you build your plan.Documentation Index

What Courseplan solves
Cornell’s degree requirements are spread across university-wide mandates, college-level rules, major requirements, and distribution categories. Tracking all of these by hand is error-prone and time-consuming—especially when you change your major, add a minor, or enter with AP or IB credit. Courseplan ingests your academic profile during onboarding and then continuously checks every course in your plan against the full requirement set, flagging gaps before they become problems at graduation.Key features
Automatic requirement tracking
The requirements sidebar updates in real time as you add or remove courses,
showing which requirements each course satisfies across your college, major,
and minor simultaneously.
Drag-and-drop semester planner
Arrange courses across up to eight semesters with a drag-and-drop interface.
Courseplan recommends courses based on your unfulfilled requirements as you
build each term.
Schedule generator
Select the courses you want and let Courseplan generate optimized schedule
combinations on the Build page, accounting for credit limits and
requirement coverage.
Multiple plans
Create several versions of your four-year plan side by side to explore
different majors, minors, or sequences before committing to one path.
Saved courses
Bookmark courses you’re interested in and organize them into named
collections. Saved courses are available any time from the Save page.
Transfer credit import
Enter AP, IB, and CASE exam results during onboarding. Courseplan maps
scores to Cornell course equivalents and applies them toward your
requirements automatically.
Academic tools dashboard
The Tools page provides a progress tracker, advisor contact list, and
other utilities to support semester planning beyond the course grid.
Personal notes
Attach notes to individual courses while planning, keeping reminders and
context directly alongside your schedule.
Who Courseplan is for
Courseplan is designed for Cornell undergraduate students across all eight colleges. It is most useful when you begin planning before your first semester and continue updating it as your academic goals evolve. Transfer students can enter prior exam credit during onboarding so that their remaining requirements reflect their actual starting point.Courseplan is a planning aid. Always confirm requirement interpretations with
your academic advisor, since requirements and course listings can change
between catalog years.
