• Search for Classes Screen in WebAdvisor: Click on the link of general education approvals at the top of the page to see your choices for fulfilling area requirements for the semester of your choice.
• Catalog (Academic Bulletin): By department, there are course descriptions, which include pre-requisites that are needed, which semesters they are offered, and what requirement areas they fulfill. The Catalog will also give you a list of the classes that are required for a specific major. An electronic copy can be found electronically here or a hard copy at the Academic Support Center, Anderson Hall 107.

Steps for Creating Your Four-Year Plan

1. Use the Academic Support Center website or PDF files of the Advising and Registration Manual(2019 OR 2020) to look at recommended first year classes and lay out those courses on your four-year plan worksheet.
2. Use the worksheet to lay out courses required for your possible major in sequential order paying attention to pre-requisites, which semester they are offered, etc. Note: some major departments have already created sample four-year plans. Refer to this website to look at specific departments.
3. If you are considering a pre-health interest, refer to this Health Profession website. There are sample four-year plans available for many pre-professional programs.
4. Look at how many credits and how much time you have for general education requirements (LAP, CHAL or 3CC) and electives. Think of the “Rule of Thirds”: 1/3 courses for your major, 1/3 general education courses, and 1/3 courses available for electives.
5. Are you trying to fit in a study away (study abroad) or internship semester? Can you tell which semester might be a good time to go? Which semester might have the least demand for taking major courses here?
6. Do you have the option of taking summer school or an online course?
7. Have all of your CIS, AP, PSEO, IB or transfer courses been included in your plan? Do they appear on your degree audit?
