How To

Map Requirements/Courses to Years/Terms in the Plan Layout

On the Academic Plans List page, click on a plan's name. That plan's page opens.
In the Play Layout block, click View plan layout details.
Click Edit plan layout. Now you can assign and reassign requirements to the academic plan as needed.
To assign a requirement to the plan layout:
1. Under the Program Requirements section, click the blue check marks next to the requirements you want to assign to a year/term. Green check marks appear next to the selected requirements.
  Tip
  To filter program requirements, use the drop-down list to only show a particular group of requirements or only those that haven't been assigned.
2. Under the Plan Layout section, locate the year/term you want to assign the requirement to and click Assign. The requirement is assigned to the appropriate year/term and the setup progress bar is updated.
To remove a requirement from the plan layout:
1. Click the name or plus icon of the time period from which you want to remove a requirement. The requirements assigned to that year/term appear.
  Tip
  You can also access the list of requirements by selecting All requirements from the Program Requirements drop-down list.
2. Locate the requirement to be removed and click the Remove icon next to it. The requirement is removed and added back to the "Not assigned to plan layout" status. It will need to be reassigned to a different year/term before the plan can be published.
To add a time period to the plan layout:

FAQ

What do the hours in a year/term mean?

The number of hours shown for a particular year/term are the total the number of requirement hours that have already been planned.

How are the years/terms determined?

The system looks at your school's IPEDS Settings, which determines if your school is a 4-year or 2-year school, and your NSC Term Definitions, which determines whether you're using standard or nonstandard terms. When you edit the plan layout, you can select other time frames.

Why can't I edit the plan layout information?

If the academic plan has been published, only an advising administrator with appropriate permissions will be able to edit the plan layout information. Plans may only be deleted if no students are using them.

How do I delete an academic plan?

Academic plans may only be deleted if they are not in use by any students. Only an advising administrator with appropriate permissions can delete an academic plan. Plans may be deleted on the Academic Plans list page, or on the summary page for each plan, in the Plan options drop-down menu.

Can I edit a plan once it has been published?

If the academic plan has been published, only an advising administrator with appropriate permissions will be able to edit the plan layout information. Editing a published plan will change the plan status to Needs Review.

Note

Changes to the academic plan will not be reflected in existing student plans, only in new plans going forward.
