Graduation Planner
Grad Planner is a tool that can help students, along with their advisors, plan which classes to take each semester. Students: Once you "plan" them, you can run an APAS report within Grad Planner to see how your requirements would be met if you take those particular classes. Advisors: You, too, will be able to review and comment on the plans that your advisees create.
