Overview offers a visual representation of your progress toward your degree. This button is located next to the What-If Report button on the dashboard. The Overview page includes the following graphs/tables:

The graph to your left displays your:

• Completed units
• In progress units
• Units remaining

The graph to your right displays a breakdown of your units based on the requirement for your degree type such as:

• Major
• General education
• Electives

Below these two graphs, you’ll see a numerical breakdown of the same information.

If your degree program includes additional requirements that you must fulfill, you’ll see a table with the related information. For example, your degree program might require an additional pre-requisite math course.

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.

1. From the dashboard, scroll down below the Preferences section. If it’s your first time viewing Pegasus Path, these classes have been populated based on the optimal degree plan for your degree program.

2. If you see Not Selected for any of your requirements, this means you can choose a course or task.
3. Click on the gold and black arrows until the Select column appears, then click Select.
4. At the top, you can apply filters that help you narrow down your search. Since we chose a GEP requirement to fulfill, we’ll filter for Historical Foundation courses.

Once you’re back on the dashboard, you can see the course you 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.
