College Course Planner Guide

It pulls your real requirements from your catalog, not a generic template. It tracks which of those requirements you have satisfied, based on courses you have completed. It evaluates prerequisite chains so you cannot accidentally plan a course before you are eligible for it. And it shows your progress visually, semester by semester.

Anything less than this is a spreadsheet in a different shape.

Avoid planners that ask you to enter your own requirements manually. They turn a catalog problem into a data entry problem, and a single mistake propagates through your entire plan.

Avoid planners that do not account for catalog year. Your requirements are locked at the year you entered, and a planner that always uses the current year will mislead you.

Avoid planners that hide their math. If you cannot see why a course did or did not count toward a requirement, you cannot trust the output.

Enter every course you have taken, including any you failed, withdrew from, or transferred in. Grades matter: a course that did not meet the grade minimum for your major should not count toward the major requirement.

Plan one term further out than your school requires you to register for. This gives you time to spot prerequisite problems before registration opens.

Revisit the plan at the end of every term. Add what you actually completed, adjust what changed, and look at the next year with fresh eyes.

Quorum is a college course planner built from real university catalog data. Select your school and major, drag courses into semesters, and the planner evaluates your plan against every requirement in your catalog.
