EDUNAV Course and Degree Planning
Antelope Valley College Counseling is pleased to introduce EduNav.
With EduNav, you plan for all your courses in a guided, intuitive system personalized to your needs and preferences.
EduNav is a course planning tool that helps you navigate your degree the same way GPS navigates roads. It maps out pathways to your degree completion and shows you the course sequences to that destination. It keeps you aware of significant changes in the road ahead and helps you plan the path forward. Like a GPS, it adjusts with your progress – so the plan will change as you progress through your degree.

EduNav helps you have informed conversations with your Counselor and plan for the path ahead. Like any journey, you should both check your plan and talk it through with a Counselor - who can give informed advice on the path ahead. Edunav education plans reviewed by you and a counselor will be the only education plan considered valid by the Counseling Department.
- Visualize your pathway to graduation, term by term - and understand how any changes to your plan affect your completion timeline
- Block times you'd prefer not to take classes and have the system automatically find classes that meet your needs
- Plan and schedule all your courses in one intuitive interface
- View your entire academic history - eventually, we'll be including any courses transferred from other institutions

Ask Questions - If you experience anything that doesn’t look right, talk to your Counselor and explore what options are available to address your situation
IMPORTANT NOTE: Edunav can only prepare semester by semester plans according to a student's DECLARED major. If no major has been declared, Edunav cannot plan any courses. In addition, if a student is declared to a major that is phasing out or impacted by other course removals, the ability to create an education plan can be impacted. For this reason, every student planning an appointment with a counselor should ensure their correct major has been declared and recorded. Students can call Admissions (x-6504) or Counseling (x-6338) to validate which major has been recorded.
