iPOS Guide

Graduate College iPOS (Plan of Study) Guide for Students

In this guide, you will learn how to access your iPOS, how to complete your iPOS, and how to submit your iPOS.
EdD students must submit their iPOS prior to scheduling their proposal defense.
- *Beginning Fall 2022 all new students must submit their iPOS in the first term.
Students must update their "Anticipated Graduation Term" if it changes throughout the program.

In this guide, you will find a list of EdD courses and the sections they should be added to on your iPOS.

EdD doctoral students will apply 30 credit hours from a previously awarded master’s degree toward their doctoral degree (see page 5 in iPOS Guide for Students on how to add your previous degree).
Select “Yes” to include up to 30 hours from a previously awarded master’s degree. Enter 30 credit hours that approved to be used. Select “Save.” Select Next.
Note: If the master’s degree is not available on the iPOS, contact Graduate Admissions at gograd@asu.edu. Include your name and ID number in email.

Ensure your master's degree has been added to the Previous Degree tab (see page 5 in iPOS Guide for Students). Be sure to not add individual courses from your master's degree.
Click on Couse Admin tab, go to Open Courses, select Add Open Courses, select the box next to "Blanket Hours," click on Done, ensure the anticipated graduation term is correct, select 30 hours from the drop down Hours tab, and select Done.

If you see a red exclamation mark on your iPOS Course Admin is it because you have completed the course and a grade is now available to be added to your Course Admin.
Follow these directions to remove it: click on the greater than symbol (>) that is to the right of the red exclamation mark and then select Remove. Select the red box of the section that needs to be corrected, select add from transcript, select the box of the courses that need to be re-added, select Next, Select Done
