BMCC DegreeWorks - Student Planner Help

Student Planner Help

The Student Planner allows the user to create an academic schedule plan for the student. There are two buttons at the top of the planner labeled Printable View and Edit Planner. The planner opens in the Edit Planner view by default. Either view may be printed but the Printable View will produce a cleaner document output. While the planner allows you to plan out an academic schedule for a student, the courses entered on the Planner are not enforced by DegreeWorks or by the student system. The Planner simply contains a list of recommendations to the student about which courses to take and the sequence and term in which they are to be taken. It is the responsibility of the student to actually register for the courses listed on the Planner.
