What is an Educational Plan?
An Educational Plan is a personalized plan that you develop alongside your counselor, based on your academic and career goals. Your educational plan serves as your guide for which courses to take each semester. To stay on track, we recommend reviewing your plan with your counselor every semester to discuss any possible changes or updates.
NOTE: Sometimes you may hear an Educational Plan referred to as a Student Educational Plan or SEP, and other times as a My Academic Plan or MAP. They are all the same document.
How to Get an Educational Plan
New, Returning and Transfer Students
- Complete our required Career and Planning (CAP) session. CAP will help you make educational choices based on your goals and help you develop your first Educational Plan with your counselor. Log in to CAP in Canvas to get started.
- Follow the instructions found at the end of your CAP session to book your first counseling appointment.
- Register for classes using the Educational Plan you created with your counselor. Learn how to register for classes.
Current Students
Schedule a counseling appointment online or by contacting counseling. Please state that you want to create or update your Educational Plan as the reason for meeting. This way enough time is scheduled since Educational plans require more time than a short drop-in visit.
If you have any questions, contact Counseling.
