By the end of the first semester, but no later than the completion of 12 credit hours, graduate students must submit to the College of Graduate Studies a Plan of Study approved and signed by the student, graduate advisor, department chair or program director, and the associate dean of the college (or designee). The Plan of Study is a listing of courses and other requirements that a student must complete to fulfill the minimum requirements of the graduate degree program. The College of Graduate Studies checks the student’s record against the Plan of Study to verify eligibility for graduation.  The Plan of Study forms are available on the College of Graduate Studies' website and the Graduate tab of the MyUT portal and should be submitted to GCAcademicSvcs@utoledo.edu.

Special Note on DAR/uAchieve Self-Service Degree Audit: We are in an ongoing process of replacing the paper Plan of Study with the online DAR system (self-service degree audit available through your MyUT portal). This is being done by degree program. You can verify with your program or contact the College of Graduate Studies to see if your degree program is using the DAR or still requires the Plan of Study form. If your degree program is not yet utilizing the DAR system, the results of a self-service audit will not be accurate.

Regardless of whether your program utilizes the paper Plan of Study or the self-service degree audit, you can find sample Plan of Studies in your program's catalog listing, and in addition to utilizing the DAR, you can prepare a paper Plan of Study for your own reference. This should be done in consultation with your degree program. 

Specific questions on degree requirements, course selection, and registration should be directed to your advisor or degree program.
