[00:00:04.270]At the University of Nebraska-Lincoln,
[00:00:06.720]we're committed to helping each student
[00:00:08.990]plan an academic path that helps them
[00:00:11.740]achieve their goals and graduate on time.
[00:00:15.510]That's why we created the Degree Planner.
[00:00:18.650]It's a tool that will help you plan your academic career
[00:00:22.810]and stay on track to graduate.
[00:00:25.870]To use the Degree Planner to make your first plan,
[00:00:29.920]go to MyRED, hover over the academics tab
[00:00:33.910]and click Degree Planner.
[00:00:36.150]This brings you to the Degree Planner homepage.
[00:00:40.050]Click the plus icon to create a new plan.
[00:00:43.980]On the create plan screen,
[00:00:45.540]you can craft a degree plan for your declared major
[00:00:48.800]or make a what-if one to explore other majors.
[00:00:53.660]You can also build your plans from the simple plan template
[00:00:57.000]or build your own from scratch.
[00:00:59.990]The create plan screen also allows you to select
[00:01:03.260]an expected graduation date.
[00:01:06.130]This determines the number of terms and length of your plan.
[00:01:11.640]You can also click to display summer terms
[00:01:14.800]if you're thinking about taking classes during that time.
[00:01:19.120]After you're done choosing your preferences in this menu,
[00:01:22.340]click this box.
[00:01:24.610]This is how you make your enrollment plan.
[00:01:28.410]This can only be selected for declared degree programs.
[00:01:33.270]Click the create and continue button
[00:01:36.030]and let's build your plan.
[00:01:38.520]On this page, you'll see two columns.
[00:01:42.210]Degree requirements are on the left under my requirements.
[00:01:46.760]And terms are on the right below my terms.
[00:01:50.670]Each requirement is color coded.
[00:01:53.940]The green check shows a requirement is complete.
[00:01:58.000]The purple calendar means it is planned.
[00:02:01.300]The blue dotted icon shows a class is in progress.
[00:02:05.830]The gray one means you have not planned
[00:02:07.820]for this degree requirement.
[00:02:10.700]You can add a requirement by dragging and dropping it
[00:02:13.550]from the requirements side.
[00:02:15.880]You can also add multiple courses or increase the hours
[00:02:19.655]within a requirement.
[00:02:23.070]Any transfer credits will appear at the bottom of this page.
[00:02:28.210]Now, let's take a look at the icons on the top
[00:02:31.807]of the term side.
[00:02:34.710]The grid brings you back to the homepage,
[00:02:37.250]which you can see your enrollment plan
[00:02:39.480]indicated by the star.
[00:02:41.920]Enrollment plans are those reviewed by your advisor.
[00:02:46.470]They're tracked in your degree audit and will guide you
[00:02:49.810]when you sign up for classes in the enrollment scheduler.
[00:02:54.420]You can view any previously created plans too.
[00:02:57.930]Back on the terms page, the icon in the upper right
[00:03:01.620]is your options menu.
[00:03:03.460]Here you can do a few things.
[00:03:06.370]The icon legend shows you the meaning
[00:03:08.680]of all the icons that are found in the degree planner.
[00:03:13.230]Preferences links to the crate plan screen.
[00:03:17.170]This is where you can edit your plans choices,
[00:03:19.890]such as changing its name or your expected graduation date.
[00:03:25.430]Map history tracks the changes to your plan.
[00:03:29.650]Clear plan deletes plan requirements.
[00:03:33.120]It will not clear any completed or enrolled courses.
[00:03:38.150]You will be prompted before your plan is cleared.
[00:03:43.360]Delete plan removes your degree plan.
[00:03:46.840]Once again, you will be prompted before it is deleted.
[00:03:51.850]Reset plan reverses your plan back to the sample template.
[00:03:56.670]Re-sync plan updates the plan from the system to pull in
[00:04:00.660]missing items like grades or requirement statuses
[00:04:03.970]from the degree audit.
[00:04:06.820]View sample plan allows you to see a sample four-year plan
[00:04:10.697]provided by your department.
[00:04:13.310]When you're finished crafting your plan,
[00:04:15.380]there are four things you can do.
[00:04:17.840]Let's take another look at the top of the page.
[00:04:22.260]First, you can check your work by clicking this icon.
[00:04:26.340]If you can see any errors, then make corrections.
[00:04:31.260]If you see the word revise, your plan may not be ready.
[00:04:35.790]If you're unsure why you're being asked to revise,
[00:04:39.050]you can still click continue to send your plan
[00:04:41.830]to your advisor for discussion.
[00:04:45.520]This upload icon saves your plan courses to both
[00:04:48.698]the enrollment scheduler and your degree audit.
[00:04:52.380]Be sure to re-upload your plan any time you make changes
[00:04:56.320]to planned courses.
[00:04:58.220]This feature is only for your enrollment plan.
[00:05:01.870]The inbox icon allows you to share your plan
[00:05:04.780]with your advisor for review.
[00:05:07.770]We encourage you to meet with your advisor every semester
[00:05:11.830]to discuss your plans.
[00:05:14.030]This feature is also only for your enrollment plan.
[00:05:18.690]In addition, you can make comments within your plan
[00:05:21.150]to help guide your future meeting with your advisor.
[00:05:24.560]You can open the comment panel by clicking here
[00:05:27.420]or the comment icon within a certain term.
[00:05:32.390]To add a comment, click the plus symbol within the term
[00:05:36.040]and select add a comment.
[00:05:38.950]The comment icon stays there to indicate terms
[00:05:41.904]you made comments for easy access.
[00:05:46.430]Remember, if you need help understanding your degree plan
[00:05:49.850]and its requirements, please meet with your advisor.
[00:05:54.260]If you have technical problems with the tool,
[00:05:57.620]visit Husker Hub.
