How to Complete Your Course Graduation Plan
A Step-by-Step Guide
- View your Academic Progress in Workday.
- Obtain a Communication course requirement checklist and a Course Planning Worksheet.
- Fill out the requirements checklist.
- Transfer all requirements with blank boxes on the Requirements Checklist onto the Course Planning Worksheet for the quarters you have remaining at SCU.

- Verify you will meet all prerequisites BEFORE the quarter you plan to take a particular class. Use the SCU Bulletin (course catalog) to look up course descriptions and prerequisites.
- Enter placeholders for required major courses and remaining core requirements.
- Total the number of units.
- Confirm that by the time you graduate, you will have completed 175 units total, of which 60 units are upper division (courses numbered 100 and above)
- Meet with a peer advisor, faculty advisor, or Drahmann Center advisor to have your course plan reviewed.
Resources to Answer Your Questions
Communication peer advisors can assist you in filling these out or to do an initial check after you have completed a 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 make an appointment to review it with an advisor in the Drahmann Center who is best informed to advise students across majors and Schools.
Many online resources are available throughout the Communication Advising and Resources site, including requirement checklists and course planning sheets, listing of Communication courses that count for core requirements, scheduling tips, and links to different University resources that you can use to help you formulate your graduation plan.
