Educational Planning
What is an Education Plan?
A quarter-by-quarter plan of which classes you need to take at South to meet your goals (e.g. graduation, degree completion, transfer, etc).
Why is it important?
- Ensure courses you are taking meet graduation requirements
- Know in advance which classes to register for next quarter
- Prepare to transfer to a university
- Ownership of educational journey; this is YOUR responsibility
What are the Steps to creating an Education Plan?
- Choose a transfer degree for your intended major or a Professional & Technical Career Training program.
- Create a draft using the Degree Planner tool within Starfish. Log in with your MySeattleColleges username and password.
- Set up an appointment with an advisor to go over your draft and to ask questions.
- Revise your education plan as your goals and timelines change. Check in each quarter with your advisor to ensure the courses you select are still acceptable.
