Navigating Your Plan

The "Courses" Tab

When you click on a plan it will always take you to the "Courses" tab first. This shows you a template of your academic plan, organized by term. 

The "Requirements" Tab

"Requirements" is where you will find all of the requirements of your plan and where you can track your progress. Generally, you will see:

1. major/program requirements
2. general education requirements (such as IGETC, CSU GE, or SBCC GE)
3. graduation requirements

Important note: The "Request Approval" button does not currently send a message to your academic counselor. DO NOT use this to try to contact your academic counselor as they will not respond.

How to Access Your Student Education Plan (SEP)

To access your student education plan (SEP):

1. Click on the "More" button

2. Click on "Plan History"

3. Click on "view snapshot." This PDF "snapshot" is your student education plan (SEP). 

You may want to download a copy of your SEP for your records or to submit to Financial Aid.

IMPORTANT: Only the most recent PDF "snapshot" is your SEP! Any changes made to your plan after the "snapshot" are NOT official until they have been approved by a counselor.
