Campuses:
Sample plans are designed to demonstrate one of several possible ways to complete a degree. Your academic plan may look different if you have already fulfilled some requirements, if you have multiple course options to choose from in your sub-plan, or if courses don’t fit your schedule in a given term. Use Graduation Planner to make your customized plan, and work with your academic advisors to ensure that you are on track to graduate on time.
