PSU adopted new general education requirements called the Pitt State Pathway in the Spring of 2019.  The online schedule of classes and degree audit applications, historically used at PSU, could not appropriately handle the new requirements due to its very old codebase. Therefore, a fresh set of code for the new schedule of classes and degree audit was necessary. 

There are many benefits to the new Pitt State Pathway Schedule of Classes and Degree Audit, including:

  • responsive design (mobile friendly)
  • advanced search options
  • advanced filtering options
  • a seamless user interface
  • updated look and feel
  • a modern and flexible codebase
  • The New Schedule of Classes began with the Pitt State Pathway year of adoption, 2019-20, and is available now.  
  • The New Degree Audit will be live on June 1, 2020.  The New Degree Audit will be used by ALL PSU undergraduate students. 
  • Advisors have access to all of their advisees in order to help plan course selection.

Given the importance of this tool to campus, Academic Affairs created a diverse committee to design and review the necessary aspects of this product.  The committee members are listed below.  In addition, the Pitt State Pathway System has been demonstrated to various groups made up of students, faculty, and staff throughout the design process in order to gain feedback and adjust the design as needed.
