Alamo GPS
Goal + Plan = Success (GPS)
Alamo GPS is a tool designed to help you navigate college. It helps you plan, stay on track, and complete your degree or certificate.
SET YOUR GOAL Create a degree plan, which will guide you as you register for courses each semester. |
FOLLOW YOUR PLAN Review your completed coursework and current GPA, view what courses you have left, and calculate what grades you need to achieve your GPA goal. |
ACHIEVE SUCCESS Follow your degree plan to complete your program’s requirements. |
Your assigned academic advisor will still guide you every step of the way. Alamo GPS is a tool that supports academic advising, but is not intended to replace one-on-one advising sessions.
