The Student Educational Planner (SEP) is a feature of Degree Works that helps advisors and students work together to create a tentative semester-by-semester coursework for the student’s academic journey to graduation. The better students can plan their academic journey, the more likely they are to stay on track and achieve their academic goals.
Students can have multiple plans to accommodate different scenarios or life circumstances, however only one can be saved as ACTIVE and LOCKED in the system for tracking.
Because the individualized plans are kept in the Degree Works system, both the student and advisors will always have access to the plans. The SEP works best together with the Degree Works audit.
