GoldPlan

Plan the completion of a program of study toward the credential — and keep the plan alive as your direction grows.

GoldPlan is the living plan. It explores an institution's programs of study — degrees, minors, and certificates — against the learning you already carry, assembles a requirement checklist for the program you follow, and saves versions of your plan you can come back to as your direction grows.

Step 1. Arrive

Launch from your institution's site, a state's articulated portal, Connected, or CollegeTransfer.Net — or carry your GoldRibbon portfolio across. A returning person reopens a saved plan with an emailed return link.

Step 2. Explore

Browse the institution's own program catalog with your prior learning alongside, so each program shows how the learning you carry may fit before you commit to anything.

Step 3. Follow

Follow a program to open its requirement checklist — assembled from the institution's published requirements — with your prior learning suggestively marked against each line.

Step 4. Grow

Customize the plan, save a version, and compare versions over time. Email yourself a return link and pick the living plan back up whenever your direction moves.

Suggestions, not awards GoldPlan assembles suggestive learning claims against published program requirements. The institution's own faculty and staff assess and decide — GoldPlan never certifies credit.

A plan that keeps its history Every saved version stays readable, so a change of direction is a new version beside the old one — never a lost plan.
