If you have a hold on your records, because you must complete a graduation plan, then we need
to meet and resolve that issue.
Here are the steps you need to take BEFORE our meeting:
I. Complete the Graduation Clearance Form (get this from Student Affairs office)
II. Complete the Online Graduation Planner
1. Go to the online Graduation Planner (https://onestop2.umn.edu/gradplanner/home.jsp). Fill
out the online graduation planner completely including ALL courses you are going to take the
rest of your time here at UMD. Check for course prereqs before planning a course. The
Graduation Planner does NOT do this for you. Make sure you don't schedule Marketing
Research (MKTG3711) in the same semester as Marketing Management Strategy (MKTG 4781),
for example. Also, make sure you have all the prereqs completed before taking Strategic
Management (MGTS 4481)
2. While still in Graduation Planner, run an APAS, and make sure on the next screen that you
have selected your BBA Marketing Program and that the box next to "Include Planned Courses"
is checked. That will tell you if you have planned all the courses to graduate. If not, fix your plan
and run the APAS again.
3. When the APAS shows that all degree requirements are met, then print it off (Printer Friendly
Version) and bring it with you to the advising appointment. I'll review it and sign off on it.
4. If you have trouble using the Graduation Planner, go see the folks in the Knowledge Center in
the "Wedge" in Kirby (near Career Services and Admissions office).
Bring your laptop with you to the advising session and please have it running, so that if you need
to make changes to your Graduation Plan you can do it right then and there.
