Academic Support and Advising

 Four Year Plans

Developing a personalized Four-Year Plan will help you define your personal and professional goals, develop a more coherent and meaningful academic program, and help you feel that you are in control of your future.  Creating a Four-Year Plan is a process that all students should learn, even if currently undeclared or a transfer student.  This plan gives you an individualized goal for registration that you can follow over your entire college career.  Keep in mind that your 4-Year Plan needs to stay flexible – anticipate that you may need to make changes as you progress through your Major.  Work in conjunction with your Academic Advisor to create the most ideal 4-Year Plan and to ensure you are meeting all of your degree requirements.      

Most Majors at UNC offer students a generic 4-Year Plan.  Many of these 4-Year Plans are available online or can be obtained by visiting the department of interest.  These generic 4-Year Plans are extremely helpful to students who are creating a customized plan for themselves or for those exploring different Majors.
