Plan Your Future Courses

What You Can Do

The planner tool allows you to set up personalized plans that identify the courses you want to take each term to stay on track to graduate.

You can plan either from a roadmap, a semester-by-semester plan of study that outlines your requirements and听recommends which courses to take when, or听directly from the audit.

Roadmaps are currently only available for the pilot programs listed below. 麻豆免费版下载Boulder听strongly recommends using a roadmap to build your plan.

Access to the planner tool is currently limited to students who were admitted to one of the following pilot programs on or after Fall 2019:

College of Music (all majors)

Electrical Engineering
