Sign in to LionsDegree
Use the Google or Microsoft button with your Penn State account. Your assistant reads your plan from your account, so it needs to know which plan is yours.

Copy your connection link
This is the address your assistant uses to reach your plan. It is the same for everyone — signing in is what makes it yours.

Paste it into your assistant's settings
Every assistant words this slightly differently. Look for whichever of these it uses:
- Claude — Settings, then Connectors, then Add custom connector.
- ChatGPT — Settings, then Connectors, then Add.
- Something else — look for "Connectors", "Integrations", or "MCP". Paste the link into the address or URL box.

Approve the connection
Your assistant will open a LionsDegree page asking whether to let it read your plan. Say yes and you're connected. You can disconnect from the same settings screen at any time.
Then ask it something
Once it's connected, these all work:
- "What do I still need for my major?"
- "Can I take CMPSC 465 next spring?"
- "I want to study abroad in fall 2027 — rearrange my plan."
- "Find me a 3-credit elective that also counts for a Gen Ed."
Your assistant can change your plan when you ask it to. It will not remove a course your degree requires unless you tell it to in your own words.
