The Academic Advising Center will be hosting two in-person workshops this semester to help prepare students for Spring Registration and understanding their degree plan.

It's time to look to the future and plan for next semester! Learn about course registration, meeting with your advisor, staying on track with your degree planning, and graduation requirements!

Understanding Your Degree Plan (All Students) -- Wednesday, October 18th at 5pm, EJ Brown 109

Get ready to take the lead in your education! In creating a degree plan you will have the ability to strategically plan courses to meet graduation requirements. Students will learn how to read and understand their degree requirements in Degree Works (the "Plans" tool in Degree Works). Now you will know exactly which courses are planned for each semester of their degree plan.
