Course Planning

How to Complete Your Course Plan

We have everything that you will need on this page for course planning.  A step-by-step guide that walks you through the 5 most important steps that you need to complete, and all of the resources to answer your questions or concerns.

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. Print out an eCampus Transcript Degree Audit

From your eCampus Student Center
Choose the "Academics" tile
Choose "Unof_Transcript + Degree Audit" for Report Type
Click on "Go"

2. Fill out a Requirements Checklist using your transcription and degree audit (This step is only necessary if you want a one-page summary)

3. Transfer all the courses with blank boxes on the Requirements Checklist, or all the "not satisfied" courses on your Degree Audit, to the Course Planning Worksheet

Use tentative course schedules to anticipate which quarter courses will likely be offered

Verify you will meet all prerequisites BEFORE the quarter you plan to take a particular class

Enter placeholders for required major courses if you haven't declared a major:

Accounting  7 - 8 courses
Accounting and Information Systems  12 courses
Economics  7 courses
Finance  5 - 6 courses
Management  5 courses
Marketing  5 courses
Operations Management & Information Systems  7 courses

 

4. Total the number of units

Confirm that there are 175 units total, of which 60 units are upper division (courses number 100 and above)

5. Meet with your faculty advisor (or Drahmann Center advisor) to have your course plan reviewed.

LSB Peer Advisors can help you fill these out or do an initial check after you have completed the plan. Once you have fully completed your course plan you should make an appointment with your assigned faculty advisor to review the plan. If you plan to double-major or add minors to your Course Plan, you should review it with a Drahmann Center Advisor (408-554-4318) who is best equipped to advise across Schools.

Online resources are available throughout the Business Undergraduate site, including Requirement Checklists, Prerequisite Lists, and links to upcoming quarter schedules. 

Tentative Course Schedules are in back of the Deadlines & Registration Information Booklet.

Prerequisites for Classes are in the course descriptions in the Undergraduate Bulletin.  A listing of prerequisites for all business classes can be found here.
