Map Your Path to Success

Create a 4-Year Academic Plan to Graduate

Join Exploratory Program Peer Leaders on Wednesday, March 2nd from 7:00 p.m.-9:00 p.m. in Friends 207. They will be hosting a tutorial on academic mapping: creating a semester-by-semester 4-year plan to graduate on time.

Students who have learned academic mapping report feeling calmer and more in control of their future. Mapping skills enable students to build in flexibility and structure into each of their semesters. Maps are useful to share with faculty advisors, and come in handy when discussing plans with parents, friends, and other supporters. They also empower students to make informed choices about course selection (for majors, minors, the ICC, and free electives). Academic maps take into consideration things like students' plans to study abroad, take summer or winter session courses, and complete internships or field work commitments. 

Attendees will receive an electronic template and digital access to a PowerPoint presentation on mapping. Register on Engage ahead of time and be entered to win a gift card raffle!

Note: Please bring a laptop or tablet with you! It will help us to help you map!
