News
A dated record of what we've shipped, what changed, and what is still rolling out. This page is about CourseTrees itself; news from your campus lives on your school's own news page once you've picked one.
RSS feedWe're smoothing out animation across the site. Buttons now give a little press feedback, the landing page eases in, and progress rings fill instead of jumping. If your device is set to reduce motion, the course graph now respects that too.
The homepage now opens with Cam and a live course graph. Catalog numbers say whether they're exact or an estimate, and the live visitor count is anonymous, counts sessions rather than people, and hides itself whenever we don't have a current number we trust.
If your school is on the new CourseTrees experience, you can now open Cam from the keyboard to search courses, hand a question to the advisor without it sending on its own, and take a short three-step tutorial. Cam also got a set of new poses, so you can tell at a glance what it's doing.
The header went from ten top-level tabs to seven. Community, Account, and About are now small menus that group related pages, and they work with hover, click, or the keyboard. Your school's Boards links and the signed-in notifications bell are still where they were.
You can now sign in with a magic link instead of a password. There's also a beta invite page where you can share a referral link and track your progress toward Cam access, and a notifications bell for product news once you're signed in. Referral credit requires a verified school email.
We have launched! Explore prerequisite maps across dozens of universities, trace paths to any course, and plan your way through college as a connected graph instead of a list. Coverage varies by school, so always confirm against the official catalog.
We are working on adding graduate-level courses and full program tracks. Soon you will be able to map master's and PhD curricula alongside the undergraduate catalog.
