Undergraduate Advising: Four Year Academic Plans & Curriculum Sheets

The goal of the Student Academic Plan Completion Policy is to promote undergraduate student progress toward a degree. Each student must create and consistently review a Four Year Plan for their major.

Download the academic plan below for your intended major.
      ♦ This template serves as a guide for which semester to take a course. NOTE: In
         some departments, not all courses are offered Fall AND Spring semester. Ask
         your academic advisor for this information to make sure you are properly planning.
We suggest you use an excel document or spreadsheet to create your specific academic plan.
Indicate on your plan any AP, IB, transfer work, or approved substitutions that may have already fulfilled degree requirements. For example AP credit for MATH140.
Label your first semester and the year; for example “Fall 2013".
     ♦ List the courses you are currently taking your first semester.
     ♦ List your future semesters, such as “Spring 2013”, “Summer 2013”, etc. and the
       courses you plan to take in those semesters.
Use the Schedule of Classes and Undergraduate Catalog to determine the pre/co-requisites for the courses you are required to take.
♦ Plan each semester based on successful completion of those pre/co-requisites courses.
Review the benchmark requirements for your intended major on Degree Navigator or from the list of benchmarks on the Advising Website.
     ♦ Make sure you are taking the courses in each benchmark prior to or in the semester of the review so you remain
         on track. A student who does not meet benchmark requirements may be told to change their major out of the
        Engineering School.
Once completed, review your plan with your academic advisor.
♦ If changes occur, you are responsible for creating a new plan and reviewing it with your academic advisor.

Four Year Academic Plan Templates

Please use the templates below as a starting point to creating your own Four Year Plan. Each link is an excel document that assumes the student will begin as a freshman who will take Math140. Directions on how to modify the plan to fit your needs are below the templates and include information for undecided engineering students and students with a declared major.
