Self-Service Academic Plan

The Academic Plan (sometimes called a degree audit) is a tool designed to assist students and their advisors with planning and tracking a student’s progress toward graduation by comparing or auditing their academic record against the requirements for their degree. It is a computer-generated analysis that includes General Education, major, minor, and concentration requirements. Each Academic Plan tracks completed courses, transfer credit, and in-progress courses (the ones currently being taken at Trinity). It also provides links to course descriptions and the schedule of courses that will fulfill unmet requirements.

Q: How is Academic Plan different than my transcript?

Academic Plan shows how your courses meet General Education, major, concentration, and/or minor requirements. Your transcript shows which classes you’ve taken per semester but does not indicate how the courses meet General Education or degree requirements.

Q: What if a requirement shows as “not met” or something on my plan doesn’t look right? Who can help me

Talk to your advisor first. If you and your advisor both agree that there may be a problem with your Academic Plan, your advisor will contact the Registrar’s Office on your behalf.

Q: How do I see only the classes I have completed?

On the left margin use the drop down box under View. Select “My Progress’ then select your degree & major below. You may also want to look at the Summary Version to get a quick overview of your degree progress.

Q: What does ‘Courses not Assigned to this Academic Plan’ mean?

This section shows courses that are either in progress or that you have completed that have not been counted towards your degree progress. If you feel that a course is placed in this section in error, please contact your advisor.

Q: What if I do not have an Academic Plan assigned to me?

There a few students who may not have a plan assigned. Please contact your advisor if you believe you should have a plan, but do not see one available.
