Below is an example of what an Educational Plan looks like. Pay special attention to the classes marked with an exclamation point (!). These classes have been identified by your program chair as critical courses, which are meant to be taken by the 30-, 60-, or 90-credit mark of your program. If you skip a critical course, you will receive an email to let you know that you are off track and that you should meet with your Advisor.
