Ellucian Smart Plan

What Ellucian Smart Plan is

Ellucian Smart Plan is a web-based academic planning and registration solution for institutions, students, and advisors. It builds personalized course plans from academic history, program requirements, prerequisites, and institutional policies, then validates the proposed sequences. Real-time student information system data helps track progress and recalculate a route to completion when circumstances change. Students can model choices such as changing majors, adding a minor, or adjusting course load, and see course sequences, completion timing, and cost implications. They can register directly from their plans, with institutional windows, prerequisites, and policies applied. A dynamic rules engine handles course sequencing and relationships, and multi-goal updates can account for aims such as a double major and minor in one plan. Historical institutional data can also help tailor plans. Ellucian says Smart Plan is natively integrated with Degree Works and Colleague Student Planning. The product page invites institutions to schedule a live demo but does not state a price or offer a free plan or trial. Ellucian lists SOC 2 and ISO 27001 credentials in its Trust Center, without specifying Smart Plan separately.
