Creating an Academic Plan

DegreeWorks is used to check your progress towards completing your degree and is split into three sections: University Requirements, General Education Requirements, Major Requirements.

Progress is shown via icons representing complete, nearly complete and incomplete classes as follows:

Download Academic Planning Worksheet or another online spreadsheet and saving it to your device with the current year and your name.

There is a DegreeSheet for all majors.

• For information on major requirements, course prerequisites and specializations:
  • Go to the UCI Catalogue
  • Click on your major
  • Under the “Requirements” tab, click “Requirements for the B.S. in [degree name]”
• For information on class scheduling, go to the ICS Course Offerings page.
• To check when courses have been offered in the past, use Course Enrollment History/Statistics. This is helpful for when you are planning for quarters beyond what is listed on the Course Offerings page.

CSE students can use the Engineering Teaching Plan for CSE and EECS course offerings.

BIM students can use the Business Teaching Plan (under Enrollment> Academic Resources> Tentative Schedules) for MGMT course offerings – contact the School of Business for more information.

The Course Enrollment History/Statistics tool can be used to find when courses outside of ICS have been offered in the past.

Note: Some major requirements also fulfill GE requirements.

If you would like your plan to be reviewed by an ICS advisor, please submit this e form. Allow 2-4 weeks to receive a response via email.
