What is Degree Works Plans?

Plans is a coursework planning tool in Degree Works. Using the Plans, your advisor can create a plan of courses/tests that you will take each semester to meet your degree requirements.

My plan shows “ON-TRACK”, “OFF-TRACK”, and “WARNING”. What does it mean?

Your plan consists of several semesters. In those semesters, courses are added that you intend to take. For example: three courses were added in your Fall 2022 semester plan.

If you take and successfully complete all three planned courses in a Fall 2022 semester, then all those courses will be labeled “ON-TRACK” and your Fall 2022 plan would be “ON-TRACK” as well.
If you take and successfully complete only two planned courses or do not take any planned courses in a Fall 2022 semester, then those courses that you did not take/complete will be labeled “WARNING” and your Fall 2022 semester would be “OFF-TRACK”.
If any two semesters are labeled as “OFF-TRACK”, your entire plan will be labeled as “OFF-TRACK”.

If I have a course in my Degree Works Plans, will I be automatically registered for that course?

No. Plans is only a guide to take courses. You will register for those courses using MyJaxState registration.

Is the course I planned for a specific semester/term offered in that specific semester/term?

It depends on the course schedule for that specific semester/term. If you discover that a course you planned for is not offered, you may wish to take an alternate course or plan that course for a future semester/term in consultation of your advisor.
