Degree planning resources

There are 3 main resources to help you plan your courses and map out your degree.

1. University Calendar

The university calendar is the main information source for your program curriculum, requirements and regulations.  It is your responsibility to ensure you meet all requirements for your degree so we recommend you review the calendar regularly.

Remember to refer to the correct University Calendar in effect for the year in which you were admitted to your program.

See the University Calendar Quick Start Guide for information on how to search and navigate the University Calendar.

2. Your Academic Advisement Report (AAR)

The Academic Advisement Report is a tool that helps you track your program progress towards graduation. The report is available through  BearTracks and will help you understand the remaining program requirements and ensure that your course registration fulfills program requirements.

For details on the AAR and tips on how to use it see here.
