Using the Academic Planner

Students can use the Academic Planner tool to plan out their future course enrollments.

In the Planner, students can select the courses they intend to register for, assign them to future semesters, and see whether or not planned courses will complete graduation requirements. 

These are the steps to planning out future course enrollments using the Academic Planner and Planner Advisement Report tools:
