Academic Plans
A How-To Guide
What is an academic plan?
An academic plan shows all the courses you need to graduate, in the order
you will take them
Why do I have to create an academic plan?
An academic plan keeps you on track and helps ensure you are registering
for the right courses each semester. It also helps you predict how many
semesters you have left until you can graduate
Where do I submit my academic plan?
Email your completed academic plan as an attachment in MS Excel format
to your advisor by the deadline announced in group advising
