Plan of Study
Improve on-time graduation rates, save students money, and decrease dropouts and withdrawals.
Streamline Student Achievement
Support is critical for first-generation students, but many colleges lack the resources or advising staff to help students meet their goals.Â
Clear learning goals and the ability to see how they are progressing toward those goals are key to student success.
A Dynamic Tool With Many Benefits
Don’t overburden students with too many choices or how to get support. A plan of study helps move students toward their goals while offering the flexibility to create customized schedules.
Problem | Solution | Outcome | ||

Students take too long to graduate | Create structured program maps and academic plans | Improve on-time graduation rates | ||
Students are overwhelmed or confused by which courses to take | Advisors and students build course schedules that align with educational goals | Students save money and graduate with only the credits they need | ||
At-risk students fall through the cracks | Early warning systems that trigger interventions | Help struggling students and increase student retention rates | ||
Poor communication between faculty, advisors and students | Plan of study information is attached to a student’s record | Faculty and advisors can easily monitor student progress |
