4-Year Plans

The goal of the Student Academic Success-Degree Completion Policy is to promote undergraduate student success. The policy establishes a structured framework and criteria to guide all students to completion of an undergraduate degree within a reasonable period of time. All students must complete a plan within their 1st semester and have it approved by an academic advisor. Please use the templates to develop a plan for your mayor.
