Introduction
My Academic Planner (MAP) lets undergraduates plan the courses needed for degree completion and chart them in future terms. MAP works side-by-side with the interactive Degree Progress Report (DPR).
To print a copy of your DPR, use DPR in PDF format. See DPR guide.
Note: Always use a DPR and MAP in consultation with your advisor before finalizing any decisions related to your academic plan (major).

Step 9
The interactive Degree Progress Report displays bar graphs showing the number of units completed and your grade point average.
Below the graphs to the left, the course requirement sections for your GE plan are listed. To the right is the My Academic Plan tool.
To view an unmet requirement, click the red X.

Click any linked course. When the description pops up, type the course you wish to plan over the course already displayed.
NOTE:
If the Subject Abbreviation (AAS, MGT, etc.) is three letters, press the space bar twice before entering the Catalog number (100, 101, etc.).
If the Subject Abbreviation is four letters (ENGL, HIST, etc.), press the space bar once before entering the Catalog number (100, 101, etc.).
See Step 11 Illustration.
Step 13
If you are an undergraduate student who has completed 90 units or you are one year away from graduation, you should plan all requirements.
When finished, click the Submit Your Plan button.
Note: These classes are planned only. You must still enroll in them.
Step 14
Click the Check on Status button until the revised plan displays.
Step 15
Review your plan. All unmet requirements should now be planned. Requirements that will be met according to your plan will be indicated by a blue checkmark over a planner icon.
Graduating Students:
If any red X’s display after submitting your plan, you probably have more planning to do.
EXCEPTION:
If your MAP includes courses that have a minimum grade requirement, these courses can be planned but the blue checkmark will not appear.

To revise your plan, follow steps 9 through 15 above.
To remove courses in MAP, click the box to the left of the class you want to delete. The drop-down menu already displays the menu item Delete from Plan. Click the Go button to delete class(es).

For Help
When MAP displays in the right column, you can refer to this guide by clicking the Help link.
If the DPR report does not run successfully and generates an error message, submit a DPR Review Request to explain the problem. You may also submit a DPR Review Request for other specific questions.
Note: Please do NOT submit a DPR Review Request if you have received a DPR Graduation Evaluation or if you have questions about major requirements. Instead, contact the Graduation Evaluation Office at the phone number listed on the DPR Graduation Evaluation, or consult your academic advisor about major requirements.
