My Academic Planner (MAP)

Transcription

1 My Academic Planner (MAP) Introduction My Academic Plan (MAP) is an interactive planning tool that provides a way to meet your academic educational goals for a degree, certificate, skills competency award and/or transfer to a 4-year school. MAP includes sample guides or "Roadmaps" of specific courses that fulfill requirements for programs at SBCC. You can view these Roadmaps and select the courses you want to take to develop a detailed term-by-term, multi-year, academic individualized "Student Educational Plan" for one or more programs. Roadmaps A "Roadmap" is a term-by-term outline of courses needed to complete a specific program of study or major. A Roadmap offers a sample of specific courses from which to choose when setting up a plan. Roadmaps are available for the degrees, certificates, skills competency awards and transfer programs. Student Educational Plans (SEP) A "Student Educational Plan" is your academic path to graduation and/or transfer. By using the Roadmap as a guide, you can drag and drop specific courses to create your own plan to degree completion. As you progress through your college career, your unique plan will display current and future terms; it is intended to plan for the future. Plans can be built on your declared major or what if plans for majors for a specific catalog year. IMPORTANT! MAP is intended for use as a planning tool and is considered unofficial. At this time it does not reflect course substitutions or report all college requirements (i.e., units and GPA). Please refer to your Audit for this information. 1
