Each degree-seeking student at the master's or educational specialist level must develop a Plan of Study with his or her graduate advisor. A Plan of Study approved by the department/program and the graduate dean must be filed in the Graduate College office before the student registers for the 12th semester hour. Students who lack a Plan of Study may not be able to register for classes and may delay their academic progress.
When to Submit
A Plan must be submitted to the
Graduate College for approval BEFORE a student registers for the
12th credit hour. A generic Plan of Study form is available in
the Graduate College office (Old Main 113) or click below. Many departments use
their own customized form.

Changes in Approved Plan of Study
The Plan of
Study is a student's "blueprint" for completing degree
requirements. A student's certification for graduation depends
on completion of the Plan of Study.
If changes to the Plan are
necessary, please be sure to submit a changed Plan of Study to
the Graduate College office.
