Looking Ahead!

As we approach the end of the semester and the beginning of a new one, it is important to look ahead and think about the semesters ahead of us. Picking and planning courses can be stressful and confusing, especially as an incoming student, but there are so many resources available to make the process easier. MyPurduePlan is a great resource that can help with visualizing what courses you have taken and what courses you might still need, along with the course catalog available online. MyPurduePlan can also simulate the effect taking certain courses or adding minors/majors will have on your degree progress, which can be helpful. 

In addition to these, advisors and faculty mentors are great resources as well. Jane, our advisor in the Agronomy Department, does an amazing job of setting students up for success with their schedules. It can also be helpful to ask your faculty mentor or Agronomy Friend for advice on classes or managing a certain number of credits. Utilizing these resources will ensure you reach your academic goals and graduate in a timely manner!
