How do I open a course's pathway?

Open the Pathways tab on any course page, or go to Pathways and enter a course code. The map puts the course in the middle, with prerequisites before it and the courses it unlocks after it.

  1. Open a course page and choose Pathways, or enter a code on the Pathways page.
  2. Raise the depth to see two or more steps out.

How does it help me plan?

Before you place a course in a term, check that its prerequisites come in earlier terms of your plan. The map makes a missing step easy to spot before you register.
