babyÖ±²¥app Planner
Roadmaps are a semester-by-semester guide similar to a recommended plan of study. They provide a quick view of your degree to be completed in four years. Roadmaps provide the different course options that will meet the requirements; however, some will only display the preferred options identified by the college, school or program.
Yes, you can; however, due to processing within the degree audit, you may not be able to plan from all requirements (i.e., General Education). We recommend usingÌıthe provided roadmap instead.
Courses that have pre- or co-requisites will have a black information dot (see the legend) on the roadmap that indicates the course has a requisite. When you drop the course on the plan, the course will become red, indicating you should verify that you've either takenÌıthe required requisite or added it to your plan.Ìı
Building a Plan
You may delete any planÌınot marked as preferred. If you only have one plan,Ìıit's automatically marked as preferred and cannot be deleted. Once you create additional plans, though, you can change which plan isÌımarked as preferred and delete the others.
We recommend searching forÌıGeneral Education courses in Ìıas needed for your degree. Once you have identified the different Gen. Ed. courses you'd like to take, you can thenÌıadd them to your plan manually.Ìı To do this, drag and drop the generic course info (***) to the plan term in which you want to take the course,Ìıthen follow the prompts to input your course selection. You may also choose to simply use the "Add Course" button in the term you wish to add the Gen. Ed. selection.
If you have a class in one term and you wish to move it to a different term, simply click on the course and drag it to the desired term.
No, the edit button is the only way to remove a single course from a plan. If you click theÌıtrash icon on a term, you'll delete the entire term and all courses planned in that term.
If you want to move a planned course to a different term, you can drag and drop the course into the new term rather than delete it.
Departments determine when they offer courses and unfortunately some courses are not offered consistently. We recommend reachingÌıout to the individual department for more information on their course offerings. You can also create multiple plansÌıto account for multiple scheduling possibilities.
For questions or help with course selection while building your plan, please contact your academic advisor.
Troubleshooting
Due to separate scrolling functionality on both the roadmap and the plan sides, the screen does appear to jump around at times when you're planning out your courses. Clicking "Expand All" on the roadmap side of the page will minimizeÌıthis, butÌınot prevent it completely.
The "Add Course" button is used toÌıaddÌıa course to a term manually. From the roadmap, you must drag and drop the course directly on the name of the term (i.e., Fall 2020) you want to add it to. As you hover over the term name, preparing to drop the course on the plan, you'll see the term highlighted in blue, indicating that is the correct place to drop the course.
The planner does not have placeholder functionality at this time; all requirements must be planned with specific/individual courses. If you're not sure what course you want to take for a specific requirement (e.g., Gen. Ed.), we recommend that you don't plan for that requirement. The unplanned hours will remain on the roadmap.
The roadmap is designed to present the preferred course options; however, any options also listed on the degree audit could be planned for. You can use the "Add Course"Ìıbutton to manually plan a course that is not displayed on the roadmap. The functionality to check your planned courses against the audit will validate against any options listed on the degree audit, even if they don't appear on the roadmap.
If your web browser is zoomed in to enlarge the screen, the plan side on the right may disappear or wrap below the degree audit/roadmap. To see the degree audit/roadmap and plan side by side, be sure the browser is not using a zoom greater than 120%.
Some courses (e.g., special topics courses)Ìımay default to a preset number of credit hours when you attempt to plan the course. To adjust these hours, click the "Edit" button and manually update the number of hours for the course, then click the "Submit" button. Be sure to validate your revised course information against the audit.
The degree audit calculates total hours differently than the roadmap. Even though the hours are applying to the degree audit as expected, they still appear as needed on the roadmap. As long as the degree audit reflects the hours as having been planned, you can disregard the needed hours still displaying on the roadmap after validation.
