To add courses to your planner, you may select courses by using the "Browse Course Catalog" or "Plan by My Requirements" features. "Browse Course Catalog" will allow you to search the entire course catalog to identify courses. To get familiar with the planner, we recommend you start with this option. "Plan by My Requirements" will provide guidance on your course selection based on your declared degree intentions (major, minor, certificate, etc.)as noted in your degree audit. Note: Students who declared their major, minor or certificate Fall 2018 or later may use the Plan by My Degree Requirement or Plan by Catalog option. Students who declared their major, minor or certificate prior to Fall 2018 will need to use the Plan by Catalog option. If you are unsure when you declared your major, minor or certificate, you may check your Degree Audit. |

To delete courses from your planner, click the trash can icon next to any course that is already in your planner. |
