Degree Plan

Students are expected to meet with their graduate advisor and file an official degree plan during their first semester of enrollment. The degree plan is agreed upon with the graduate program adviser and signed by the department chair and dean and submitted to the Graduate College for inclusion in the student’s official file. In general, a student may follow the degree requirements listed in this catalog by the respective departments of the university, thus planning a schedule of courses. However, having a degree plan on file is a requirement for graduation and helps to avoid taking courses that will not satisfy degree requirements. If the student wishes to make changes to the filed degree plan, a signed change form must be submitted to the Graduate College. Students must submit a new official degree plan when their plan of study changes.
