Track UMD Gen Ed requirements automatically
Orbit tracks every UMD General Education category—DSHS, DSHU, DSNS, DSNL, DSSP, DVCC, DVUP, FSAW, FSAR, FSMA, FSOC, and Scholarship in Practice—as you add courses to your plan. See which Gen Ed buckets are complete, in progress, or still open without decoding uAchieve requirement codes.
How it compares to Testudo & uAchieve
Testudo's audit lives behind a portal, doesn't show what's missing in plain English, and can only audit one program at a time. uAchieve's interface is built for advisors, not students. Orbit was designed by UMD students for UMD students - every requirement is shown with a clear status, recommended courses, and the next action you should take. Pair your audit with the UMD four-year plan or schedule builder to act on gaps immediately.
Frequently asked questions
Is Orbit's degree audit free?
Yes. Orbit is completely free for all UMD students. No payment, no trial, no premium tier.
Does Orbit's audit match the official UMD audit?
Orbit uses the same published UMD requirements that the registrar maintains. For most students, Orbit's audit matches Testudo line-for-line. If your situation involves transfer credits, course substitutions, or AP/IB exceptions, your advisor's signed exceptions are still authoritative.
Can I audit multiple majors and minors?
Yes. Add every program you've declared and Orbit audits all of them simultaneously, showing where requirements overlap so you don't take more credits than you need.
Do I need an account to try it?
You can explore Orbit in demo mode without an account. To save a personalized audit, sign in with your UMD email.
