A cheaper, faster degree plan. Built with you, in one hour.
One live session and one written plan. The same prerequisite-chain, transfer, and credit-by-exam analysis our guides teach, applied to your transcript, your target degree, and your constraints.
What you get
- A 60-minute working session on video. We map your completed credits, target degree, and constraints against the official requirements, live.
- A written Gradical degree plan, delivered within two business days: a term-by-term path, the transfer and articulation moves that cut cost, a credit-by-exam target list, and the estimated savings versus the default path.
- Sources for everything. Each recommendation cites the catalog, articulation agreement, or policy it rests on, so your advisor can verify it in minutes.
Who it's for
High-school students and parents
Planning dual enrollment, AP, and CLEP so college starts with a semester, or two years, already banked.
Current college students
The timeline is slipping, the money is real, and nobody has shown you the critical path through your remaining requirements.
Transfer students and returning adults
Community college to university, California especially. Or returning with old credits and wondering what still counts.
How it works
- Book and pay. $100, card at booking.

Your consultant
Ryan Brodsky
Former Implementation Manager at DualEnroll.com, the platform behind dual-credit programs at colleges across the country. Ryan spent years on the institutional side of credit pipelines: how colleges actually set up courses, eligibility rules, and transfer credit.
It's also personal. Ryan graduated high school with roughly two years of college credit through dual enrollment, the same system used the way it's meant to be used. Gradical is that playbook, systematized.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need anything before the session?
An unofficial transcript (or a simple list of completed courses, AP/IB/CLEP scores included), your target school and major or the shortlist you're deciding between, and any constraints like work schedule, budget, or a hard graduation deadline. You'll get a short intake form when you book.
What exactly do I get afterward?
A written Gradical degree plan: a term-by-term course path, the specific transfer and articulation moves that save money, a credit-by-exam list worth attempting, and the estimated cost and time versus the default path. Every recommendation cites the official catalog, articulation agreement, or policy page it's based on, so your advisor can verify it.
Can you guarantee my college will accept the plan?
No, and be wary of anyone who says yes. Credit acceptance decisions always belong to the institution. What we do is build the plan from the institution's own published rules and cite every source, which makes the plan easy for your advisor to confirm and hard to dismiss.
Which states do you cover?
Consulting works for any U.S. state, because the mechanics of prerequisites, transfer, and credit by exam are national. California is where our data runs deepest (ASSIST articulation, Cal-GETC, ADT).
Is this useful for high-school students and parents?
Yes. Dual enrollment planning is Ryan's specialty: they worked at DualEnroll.com on the institutional side of dual-credit programs and personally graduated high school with about two years of college credit. Parents are welcome on the call.
