| Part 2 Planning
|
Before you choose classes for the current semester, it is helpful to plan out how many semesters it will take you to complete the remaining requirements for your degree. You are advised to distribute courses for your major, minor and general education requirements fairly evenly across your remaining semesters. In order to plan this, you need to identify these requirements, and the number of semesters you will need to complete your degree.
Use your Degree Audit (DARS) answer the questions in Part 2.

| Part 3 The big picture |
Now we suggest that you plot out the types of courses you will take in each remaining semester. For each category – major, minor, general education, elective – distribute the number of courses you will need to take evenly across the number of semesters you will be here. Be sure to map out the number of semesters that you identified in number 3 (minimum number of semester you need to complete) above.
