MyDegreePath (Student) – How to Access

You can access MyDegreePath through UC Merced’s Connect Portal. This system allows you to view your degree audit, explore “what-if” scenarios, and review your academic plan as you progress toward graduation.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Go to https://connect.ucmerced.edu
  • Make sure you're using the Student persona view. You won’t see the correct tools unless “Student” is selected in the dropdown near your name.

  • Click on the MyDegreePath icon, which will open the degree audit in a new browser window or tab.

Optional: Use the Connect App on your phone. You can also access MyDegreePath through the UC Merced Connect mobile app.

Troubleshooting Tips

  • If MyDegreePath doesn’t open, check that your browser allows pop-ups.
  • Make sure you're using a recommended browser (Chrome or Firefox works best).
  • If you don’t see the MyDegreePath icon, double-check that you're in the Student persona view.

Alternate Access: Using Student Profile in Self-Service

In addition to using the UC Merced Connect Portal, you can access MyDegreePath directly from your Student Profile in Self-Service Banner. This is especially convenient if you're already viewing your student record or registering for classes.
