D-Plan Advising Opportunities!

We are offering zoom group advising sessions over the next few weeks. The first 20 minutes will cover important information and we will go over some frequently asked questions. Then, we will leave time for folks to ask questions, and enter their d-plan. We will add more sessions if demand is high.

Definition of a "D-Plan" = A Student's Enrollment Pattern

• Terms enrolled on campus
• Term(s) enrolled off-campus
• Off/Leave terms

Your D-Plan is an agreement with the College and confirmation of where you intend to be each term.

It is important that your enrollment pattern accurately reflects your current plans at least two terms in advance.

• If your plans change due to declaring a new major or for some other academic reason, you may reconfigure your D-Plan in the Registrar's Office.
• All changes are subject to housing availability; anticipated full occupancy in fall term may prevent you from changing from a  Off/Leave Term to an On/Residence Term.

• You will be asked to submit a D-Plan containing either an "On/R" or an "Off/L" for each term.
• The D-Plan you submit should be confined to twelve enrolled terms.
