Academic Planning and Advising

This page includes tools and resources to help plan your course schedule and track your degree progress.

It is important that you track your degree progress from the start of your program. Your curriculum plan is based on your home program and the academic quarter and year you began. Your start date indicates your bulletin, which is what dictates your degree requirements for graduation and what informs your degree audit. 

Follow the steps to ensure you are using the correct documents for your degree planning packet. 

  • Step 1: Choose your home program below.
  • Step 2: Select the term you entered/began the program.
  • Step 3: Utilize the associated course planning documents to plan and track your degree progress.

For all course scheduling, visit the Live Schedule in MyDU for the most up-to-date course information. Navigate there through the following steps: MyDU > Register for Classes > Browse Schedule.
