Please note:
You can create as many plans as you’d like, but only one
plan at a time can be marked as active. Please designate
the plan that most closely matches your intended degree
completion plan as active.
If you plan to complete a course at another institution,
please do not include it on your plan. It can be included
in the notes.
Be sure to save often.
