Planning a Roadmap to Graduation!
You can use the tools we reviewed in this lesson to formulate a long term academic plan. Here's how:
Step 1
Use the My ESP Academic Excel spreadsheet to understand what courses you still need to complete. As an example, I've highlighted the incomplete courses in the spreadsheet below.
Step 2
Open up the Courses page on the Program Office Website - DO NOT USE THE SCREENSHOT BELOW - to see what pre-requisites are needed for each course, and when the courses are typically offered. You'll see that especially some of the upper level (400+) courses are only offered certain semesters. See EGEE 401, EME 444 and EMSC 302 as highlighted examples below:
Step 3
Use the information to then make a "plan". Your My ESP spreadsheet contains a tab titled "Long Term Plan". Use the LONG TERM PLAN TAB to plan out the courses you'll be taking each semester. See screenshots below:
