How to Create an Exploratory Program Plan

Often, students are interested in transferring to a different program or bridging to a higher degree program upon completion of one program. Exploratory Program Plans are also created when a student is interested in re-enrolling to the school after a Withdraw Program Action. It’s helpful to give these students a potential program plan, so they know what courses they have left to take. It also enables Financial Aid to create an Estimated Award Letter for the student. 

 

A complete history of Program Plans is stored on the top of the Program Plan Page. The student’s Active Program Plan is marked by a Star.
