The Pegasus Path is a new interactive degree planning tool that will help you get from orientation to graduation. You can plan your courses, co-curriculars and important tasks using this tool, and it even integrates with your myKnight Audit to help you graduate on time. Best of all, your plan is customizable, so you can create the best plan that fits your needs. Check out the resources below to learn more! If you require technical support, please submit a UCF ServiceNow ticket for Pegasus Path.

How To

When looking at your plan, you might see “Not Selected” listed in red under the selection column. This means that you can choose a class that you plan on taking to fulfill this part of your degree program.

1. To add a course, click on the select option located to the right of the Selection column. For this example, we’ll choose to add a course that fulfills a General Education Program (GEP) requirement.

2. On the following page, you can choose a class to add to your plan. Selecting from the list of filters on the left will narrow down your search. We’ll add the Communication Found 3 – A3 and State Core Cult/Historical filters.

3. You’ll see the list of courses change. Once you find a course you want to take, click on the green select button. We chose PHI 2010, Introduction to Philosophy.

You’ll be taken back to the dashboard. Scroll down to the semester you selected the course for, and you’ll see that it’s been added to your plan.

The Pegasus Path is an interactive tool that allows you to make changes to your plan by dragging and dropping classes between semesters.

1. Below the Preferences section, click on the Arrange My Plan button.

2. To move a planned course from one section to another, simply click and hold down on the course and move your cursor.

3. For our example, we’ll move Statistics to fall 2019 and our Philosophy class to Spring 2020.

Tip: if your semester is highlighted in red after moving a course, this means that you’ve gone over the amount of target units you’ve chosen for that semester. To resolve this, simply move a course from that semester to another semester. Or, you can increase the number of target units in the Preferences section.

4. Pegasus Path will warn you if there are errors when making changes to your plan. Fix these errors before proceeding.

5. Click OK and you’ll be taken back to the Pegasus Path dashboard to view your updated plan.

Important note: Pegasus Path won’t allow you to move courses to a later term if there’s a prerequisite for the course that must be completed in one of the prior semesters first.  In some cases, courses must be taken in the same semester, such as for labs.

Next to the myKnight Audit link is the Audit with Planned Courses option, which generates a report that includes the courses you’ve planned in Pegasus Path. This shows you how your planned courses will help you complete your degree.

1. Click on the Edit My Terms & Units button on the Pegasus Path dashboard.

2. To change the number of credit hours or units you plan on taking, navigate to the Future Units section and change the number in Target Units column.

3. To add a semester, click on the + button located next to the Approx End Date column.

4. Click on the OK button below the Future Units section.

You’ll be taken back to the dashboard and the Preferences section will be updated to reflects the changes you’ve made to your plan.

Refresh Suggestions

Suggestions from Pegasus Path will be refreshed automatically as you confirm changes to your preferences and plans, but the Refresh Suggestions button, located next to the Overview button, lets you do that manually, as well.

Clear Locks

This button can be found to the right of the Refresh Suggestions button. When looking at your Pegasus Path plan, you can see a column titled Lock.

By checking the boxes in this column, you can lock certain courses or tasks into the semester, so they don’t get moved accidentally.  

The Clear Locks option allows you to remove all locked courses, meaning you can move those courses again.  

To access this report, navigate to the Preferences section and click on the Pegasus Path Report button located below it.  

The Pegasus Path Report is a snapshot of your progress toward your degree. On this page you’ll be able to view:

  • Semesters you’ve attended and/or semesters you plan to attend

  • Completed, in progress and planned courses

  • Courses that have been removed or overlap

  • Critical courses, or courses that are time-sensitive

  • Non-course to-dos, or co-curricular activities

  • e.g., Meeting with your advisor

Click Close in the top left corner of the page to view your dashboard.

This feature shows you what your degree program might look like if you plan on changing or declaring a new major/minor/ in the future.

The What-If Report button is located directly underneath the Preferences section.  

Let’s see what our plan would look like if we were to change our major to Economics.

1. First, select the college to which the new area of study belongs using the dropdown menu under Academic Program. Economics is part of the College of Business.

2. Next, select your major from the dropdown menu under Area of Study.

3. In the Plan Term column, choose the semester you plan to declare your new major/minor.

4. Click Continue to view your What-If Report.

Now you’ll be able to see the recommended semester-by-semester sequence of courses if you were to change your degree program. The report will also show which courses you’ve already completed.

5. Click Close to return to the dashboard.

Below the Preferences section, you can see the academic plan that you have created for the rest of your time at UCF.

When you first log in to Pegasus Path, this section is automatically populated with the optimal degree plan for your program based on myKnight Audit. For example, if your area of study is Biomedical Sciences, you will see Chemistry Fundamentals in your first semester. This is required class for your area of study.

However, your plan is customizable, and you can make changes to your plan at any time. In the next section, we’ll show you how to select classes you’d like to add to your plan.

No. The Pegasus Path is a planning tool only. If you are considering a change to your major or minor, create a “What-If?” report to see how that will affect your graduation timeline.

No. You must submit your Intent to Graduate application through myUCF in the Student Center section. To access this section, login to myUCF, select Student Self Service, Student Center, and then select Intent to Graduate: Apply in the drop-down box under Academics. To make sure you submit your application for graduation on time, see the UCF Academic Calendar.

The Pegasus Path makes recommendations and provides guidance, but you have to create and follow the plan that works best for you. Once you adjust your plan to meet your personal preferences and planned graduation date, the suggestions Pegasus Path recommends will change accordingly.

Pegasus Path is a powerful planning tool, but meeting with an academic success coach or faculty advisor is critical to putting those plans in motion. They will provide you with invaluable information about courses and available resources that goes beyond the level of detail available in Pegasus Path.

Based on your catalog year, your plan will include up-to-date program requirements, curriculum and academic policy changes.

Use mySchedule Builder to see the dates and times classes are offered, preview and compare possible class schedules to find the one that works best for you and register for the classes you selected. Requirements with selected courses in Pegasus Path are imported into mySchedule Builder under the Pegasus Planner tab in the Add Courses menu.  

If your data does not match your audit and plan, please submit a UCF ServiceNow ticket for Pegasus Path so that we can investigate the discrepancy.

The myKnight Audit is the official tool for listing your degree requirements and tracking the courses you’ve completed. Not all courses with credits earned and reflected in myKnight Audit will appear in the Pegasus Path. If you have any questions, please contact your academic success coach or advisor.

The audit with planned courses shows how your planned courses in Pegasus Path will satisfy requirements on your myKnight audit. If you plan all courses, you can run the audit with planned courses to see if you meet all the major, minor and/or certificate requirements.

This function is for planning purposes only.

If you are considering a major/minor change, the “What-If?” function shows you how your completed credits would apply to the new program of study and how your graduation date will be impacted. The What-if “Study Plan” creates a generic plan using the plan defaults and cannot be customized. Keep in mind that this is just a planning function.

Check out the What-If tutorial video below for additional guidance.

Pegasus Path is an interactive degree planning tool that will help you get from orientation to graduation. The tool will show you a semester-by-semester sequence of required courses based on your degree program.

The Pegasus Path is an interactive degree planning tool for UCF’s undergraduates. It uses information from your myKnight Audit, the undergraduate course catalog and input from your academic success coach or advisor to create a recommended academic plan based on your major. You can then customize that plan to fit your schedule and preferences, building a personalized roadmap to graduation.

The Pegasus Path will alert you to scheduling conflicts in your proposed plan, or if you’re taking on an especially challenging course combination. It will also remind you of important milestones, like the deadline for applying for graduation.

It also recommends learning experiences, like internships and study abroad related to your course of study. So, using Pegasus Path will not only help you graduate on time but make you more marketable to potential employers and a more competitive graduate school applicant.

In addition to helping you stay on track for graduation, you can use Pegasus Path to get a snapshot of your progress. Its reports and audits show you the courses you’ve completed and classes that are still required for the completion of your degree. If you’re thinking about changing your major or adding a minor, a “What-If?” report will show you what courses you’d need to pick up and how the change would affect your graduation timeline.

Finally, Pegasus Path serves as a portal for your academic success coach or advisor to communicate with you.

Pegasus Path will include all declared majors, minors and certificates with supported plans. Programs without plans will be noted.

Failed or withdrawn courses that are required for your major will stay on your plan until you satisfactorily complete the course.

Transferred courses that are needed for your major or minor are included in your myKnight Audit and listed on your transcript are accounted for in your Pegasus Path plan. They can be viewed in your Pegasus Path Report.

Locked requirements include advisor/admin locks and student pins. Locked requirements will always remain in their selected term on the plan. Unlocked requirements may be reassigned to different terms when manually arranging courses or in cases such as enrollment changes or when you click Refresh Suggestions. 

Students and faculty/staff users can add and remove student pins. Only faculty/staff users can add and remove administrative locks. Contact your Academic Success Coach or faculty advisor if you have questions about an advisor/admin lock.
