The Learning Plan
Start your learning plan portfolio page by:
Locating the Stock 8-Semester Plan and completing a Degree Audit
Starting Instructions:
Complete the FYE Chapter 7 Advising module in your Canvas course.
Find your major(s) stock 8-semester plan (usually located on the major's departmental site) and post a viewable copy to it in this row. If you have more than 1 major, include each stock plan available as a viewable item (tip: merge pdfs into one file to post OR create an image slideshow with files saved as jpegs).
Unsure about your major? No worries! Pick one you might be interested in exploring to complete this task.
Then complete a degree audit. To learn how, view the video or click on this link: (https://www.wcu.edu/learn/academic-services/advising-center/current-students/how-to-instructions.aspx)
Use the completed Degree Audit and the stock plan to create a personalized plan and reflection.

Be sure to enter total hours and total Honors hours at the bottom of your plan, and then share your completed template to this row.
Complete the following reflection for this portfolio.
The Personalized 8-Semester Plan Reflection:
Walk us through your plan. What aspects of the stock 8-semester plan did you follow closely? What aspects did you need to modify to fit your graduation plan. Why?
What is the timeline for your program (first year, second year, etc)? Share the timeline for pre-requisite courses, application processes for your program, when you’ll apply to graduate school, etc.
Describe your timeline on incorporating at least two touchstones (e.g., when to study abroad, get involved in leadership, complete research, etc.). If you plan to pursue DegreePlus, include when you will pursue it, which skill, and when you plan to achieve levels 2 and 3 for each.
Explain your desired career field or graduate/professional school plans and goals after graduation as it relates to your plan (including touchstones, DegreePlus, etc.).
What aspects of your personalized plan do you feel will present the greatest challenge to you academically, and why? How will you plan to overcome those challenges?
