A Degree Planner (sometimes referred to as simply “plan” or “planner”) is a tool that helps you plan your path to graduation by letting you determine in advance what classes you will take each semester. It also helps you understand the requirements for your program and how the classes you intend to take will meet those requirements.
Degree Planner Frequently Asked Questions
Your degree planner is part of the degree audit system. Just go to your degree audit and click on the “Plans” link.
If you need assistance, please contact your navigator.
Your plan helps you and your navigator plot out your path at Ozarks Tech. It can help you determine how many classes you want to take each semester, understand how many semesters it will take to graduate, ensure that you are taking the right classes, and anticipate your next steps.
Your degree planner does not take the place of a navigator. You are strongly encouraged to meet with your academic advisor or navigator at least once a semester.
Navigators have the knowledge and tools to help you be as successful as possible! They can help connect you with campus and community resources. Your navigator is also your first point of contact for questions about your degree audit or planner tool.
The Excess Courses area is located at the end of your degree audit. It displays any courses on your academic record that are not actively meeting any program requirements.
If any of the courses you planned are in this section, then they are not needed for your program of study.
If you feel that this is incorrect, please make sure you check the Program of Study displaying on your screen. If you still have concerns, contact your academic advisor or navigator.

We recommend checking your plan each semester and make any adjustments as needed.
Yes!
However, if you have multiple plans, we encourage you to only view planned courses on the audits generated in the Planner tool. If you run an audit with the option to show Planned coursework from the degree audit’s advanced settings, it will show planned courses from all plans.
The planner tool is optimal for traditional students planning to complete one Program of Study.
Students active in two or more academic programs should work with their navigator when making an academic plan.
At any point while planning your classes in the planner tool, you can use the Check Plan button. This will update the audit display on the left-side to show the purple planned icon where the course is meeting requirements.
In simple terms, a degree audit tells you the requirements for your Program of Study and your current progress towards completing those requirements while a degree plan establishes how you intend to complete your program of study requirements and in what time frame.
You are not required to make a plan in order to graduate. The Registrar’s office uses your degree audit to determine graduation eligibility.
