You can use the tools we reviewed in this lesson to formulate a long-term academic plan. Here's how:
Step 1
Use your check sheet (like the one pictured below) from your adviser to understand what courses you still need to complete.
Step 2
Use the Course Search function in Lionpath(link is external) to understand when the courses you need are offered.
Step 3
Use the information to then make a "plan" for the next two semesters. You are provided an Excel document on the Activities page to complete.
Step 4
Check the Bulletin(link is external) to make sure you've completed the prerequisites listed for the courses you're planning to complete over the next two semesters.
