Graduation Planner template online shows you your degree audit. It let's you drag your unplanned classes into the template organized by semester. Helps create your Four-Year Grad Plan.
Come into the advising center so it can get approved!

High-credit holds! If you have too many credits based on your degree progress, you HAVE to get a four year plan approved before you can register for classes.

"Make use of time, let not advantage slip." -- William Shakespeare

This week's website was BYU-Idaho's Grad Planner

web.byui.edu/gradplan

Site helps students actually plan out exactly what classes they want to take each semester at BYU-Idaho. On the left hand side, it shows you your degree audit, and tells you exactly where you need more classes, and what classes are available for you to take. 

When you find the class that you want, you click and drag it to the semester you want to take it. This helps you see visually what your four years will look like, how many credits you'll take per semester, and exactly how many more credits you need.

This site is a great tool for students. It was really easy to use and understand, and helps students map out exactly their class schedules each semester.
