MS Program Plan

During your first term as an MS student, you will develop a full program plan to fulfill the MS degree requirements.

Resources & Guidance

Helpful information to begin your plan:

• MS course requirements
• Course catalog
• Graduate Course Equivalence and Credit form; use this to transfer graduate-level credits.
• Three-credit check: Most MS students register for three credits per term.
• Residency check: You must be in residence for at least three terms after your bachelor's degree.
• ENGG 700 Responsible & Ethical Conduct of Research is required in your first fall.
• Questions or additional guidance

Create Your Plan

1. Log in to the system.
2. Click on the Course Program Plan tile.
3. Select Master of Science Program Plan.
4. Fill in with the correct information.
5. Click continue to generate a PDF.
6. Sign your program plan.
7. Obtain your faculty advisor's approval and signature.
8. Submit your program plan to the registrar.

The registrar will review it and send it to the MS/PhD program director. You will be notified when final approval is granted.

If you deviate from your program plan, log in to the system to amend your plan, updating the courses that have changed. Generate a new PDF, obtain a new set of signatures, and provide it to the registrar for final review and approval.

Potential reasons for needing a new program plan:

• Class schedule changes or conflicts.
• You change your mind about a course or want to try something else.
• You receive a second LP grade (you may only count one LP for every six courses).
