Graduation Planner retirement

As a reminder, Graduation Planner will be retiring January 30, 2026. A banner message was added to the application in October, alerting users to the retirement and directing them to a One Stop website page with more information. This page provides students with options for saving plans currently in Graduation Planner as well as alternatives for long-term course planning. 

There is no way to extract plans within Graduation Planner, and plans will not be available to view after the January 30, 2026, retirement date. Targeted messaging will be sent to students leading up to the retirement date to help them prepare.

Graduation Planner will be retired January 2026

Graduation Planner will be retired on January 30, 2026. While the University plans to implement a new tool for students, there will be a period of time when no long-term course planning tool is available. 

The retirement is due to multiple factors, but primarily because it will no longer function once the uAchieve Cloud project is completed (mid-February 2026). It will also not meet digital accessibility requirements by the April 2026 deadline. 

There is no current timeline for the new long-term planning tool yet, but planning will begin once the uAchieve Cloud project is complete. There will be a gap between when Graduation Planner is retired and the new tool is launched. The intent is to make this period of time as short as possible.

Communication to students about this transition will be handled centrally, coordinated by each campus’ Registrar’s Office. A message has been added to Graduation Planner informing students of the retirement timeline and directing them to more information on their campus One Stop website. Additional communications to students will be available for reference on the uAchieve cloud project page. Colleges, departments, and advisors are welcome to supplement those communications for their students.  

The September 25 town hall recording of this meeting is available to watch. More information (and future updates) is available on the uAchieve cloud project page.
