Course selection and degree planning are complex challenges for college students. Without proper guidance, students may struggle to optimize their academic journey, potentially missing prerequisites, taking unnecessary courses, or delaying graduation. Cleo was developed to streamline this process, helping students make informed decisions about their academic path while reducing the workload on academic advisors.

The platform provides personalized course recommendations based on degree requirements, prerequisites, target graduation dates, and individual preferences. By automating routine course planning tasks, Cleo helps both students and advisors focus on more strategic academic decisions.
Cleo utilizes a recommendation algorithm that considers multiple factors including degree requirements, prerequisites, and student preferences to generate optimized course schedules. The platform maintains up-to-date course catalogs and degree requirements, automatically adjusting for curriculum changes.
