FORMAL STUDY PLAN

The Formal Study Plan is an important part of your earning your degree.  The Working form is completed during your first quarter and provides you guidance as to which courses to take.  The Final plan is filed once you have registered for your last class and is used by evaluations to determine if you earned your degree.  Both forms can be found in the forms section of the graduate education website at https://grad.calpoly.edu/checklist-forms/forms.html .

 

FILLING IN THE FORMAL STUDY PLAN

The plan is split into four sections.  Make sure you include your courses in the correct section as described below.  Never include more than 45 units in your study plan.  If you are uncertain about your matriculation date read the description at https://csc.calpoly.edu/gr/matriculation/.
