Be prepared to answer the following questions:

- Find out if your college is on the quarter or semester system. You also need to find out what your school considers a full load (generally 4 classes per quarter/semester).
- Research the General Education requirements for your school. These are the classes that all students must take regardless of major in order to graduate from that college.
- Research the major requirements (the classes needed to graduate with a specific major).
- Plan what order you would take all of your classes. Keep in mind that you have to fulfill a certain number of units to graduate. You may need to plan for elective units. You will turn in this plan using an Excel file. We will discuss the formatting and how to use the program in class.
