Plan of Study

Bioengineering Plan of Study Tutorial

General Info:

  • The plan of study is REQUIRED for all graduate students within the School of Engineering.
  • It must be completed by the end of your second semester of study.
    • If it is not complete, a hold will be placed on your enroll & pay account.
  • Consult the “instructions” tab once you log on for general tips from the School of Engineering.
  • You need a plan for each degree you are actively seeking. If you are classified as MS/PhD, you will need to create 2 plans.

Plan Specifics:

How to link your Track-Specific Degree Requirements and making sure you personal information is up to date.Important dates for PhD students and committee signoff information

 

Courses:

  • Every course needs to be listed out for every semester. DO NOT lump credits together.
    • IE…There should be 4 entries for colloquium, not 1 entry worth 2 credits.
  • List all courses counting towards your degree.
    • Transfer credits should be listed with what it is satisfying as the “instructor.” (below)
    • Waived classes need to be listed with what you are taking in its place. (see below)
    • Deficiencies must be listed.
      • If you are taking a graduate level class that counts toward your degree and the deficiency, list it twice to show that. (see below)
  • Make sure your total hours meet the minimum for your degree.
  • Update your courses every semester to include your grades and any changes
    • IE…the course you planned on taking isn’t offered in that given semester.

 

Courses that show your instructor, course number, title, list of all your courses, credit hours, and course type.
  • Once you complete all of the above, submit your plan for approval.
  • If you take the time to fill this out correctly the first time, it takes a minimal amount of effort to maintain it.
  • If you have any questions, please contact the program assistant.
