Ask about prerequisites, unit counts, general education areas, or transferability. We answer from your college's actual course catalog, not a generic guess.
Know how much to trust the answer
Every response is graded for confidence (Verified, Partially verified, or Unverified) so you always know when something's worth double-checking with an advisor.
Grounded directly in the catalog
Mostly grounded, some inference
Not in the catalog, confirm with an advisor
Build a real term-by-term plan
Add the courses you've already completed and get a term-by-term plan toward your transfer target, with GE coverage tracked automatically.
Term 1
15 unitsPlans you can actually trust
Not just helpful. Verified.
No impossible schedules
Every term plan is checked against real prerequisite chains before you ever see it. No phantom conflicts. No missed requirements.
No invented courses
Every course we mention is cross-checked against your college's actual catalog. If it's not real, it's not in your plan.
Flagged, not guessed
When a catalog is incomplete or a rule is ambiguous, Semestra says so, instead of quietly making something up.
Privacy & data
Your questions and any uploaded transcripts are used only to answer you. They are never used to train outside models or shared with your college.
What you can ask
Real answers from Semestra. Every example uses State College, our demo catalog.
Degree progress
See exactly which courses your major still needs, based on the classes you have already taken.
What CS courses do I still need for my major?
You've finished all 10 required CS core courses, and the only CS courses you have left are 3 electives from the list below. Outside CS, your major still requires MATH-152, MATH-220, and MATH-230.
