Academic Advising Updates: Degree Planner

HELPFUL HIGHLIGHT

Each newsletter I will be sharing tips, campus resources, and skills that can help you personally, academically, and professionally. This newsletter’s highlight is the Degree Planner tool!

The Degree Planner is a new tool that students on the Fall 2019 and Fall 2020 catalog years can use to plan out their pathway to graduation. If you have access to the Degree Planner, you can find it under the Academics tab in MyRED. One cool thing about this tool is that it communicates to the University what courses students want to take and when. If there is enough student interest, a department just might consider offering a course that they haven’t offered in several years.

CAS Advising is offering several workshops on how to use the Degree Planner through the end of February. If you’re interested in attending one, contact me and I can send you the schedule and help you get registered!

First-year students are expected to have a plan built in Degree Planner by the end of this semester. I really recommend attending one of the workshops discussed above!
