Your portfolio page called Degree Requirements will contain your Ed Plan, which is a list of classes needed to get an associate degree and/or certificates of completion.
Most of my students are still in high school and no one is asking you to decide what you want to be for the rest of your life. That said, you must have an Ed Plan and Field of Interest if you are taking college classes. It protects you from having to spend extra time and money on College because you did not take the correct classes for your FOI. You can change your Field of Interest and Ed Plan at any time by contacting your Academic Advisor.
I have always been a futurist. There is a likelihood that the field you end up in, for the long run, does not yet exist. Our world is changing quickly and drastically. Regardless, you will need credentials, either a degree or certificates of completion (CCL), to open the doors for you to gain experience which will lead you to better decisions.
Every student must make and complete an appointment with Academic Advisors to chart your course and get a electronic copy of your Ed Plan. Place the time and date of your appointment in your calendar and on your Degree Requirements page.
Advisement does not have standards, so you will get your Ed Plan as an Excel Spreadsheet or a PDF. Upload the PDF to your shared folder and insert in your Degree Requirements page. Do the same for Excel and convert to Google Sheets, and place in your Degree Requirements page.
If you will be attending University, add a list of classes required for your bachelor degree.
