Edit Academic Plan for Students

Workday Logo

Overview of Process

Academic Plans in Workday are an optional but helpful tool to assist students in planning out their path toward completion of their program(s) of study. We recognize that the Bowdoin course offerings change regularly, so these plans should only be used as guidelines on how a student’s Bowdoin career may unfold; they should notbe seen as a final commitment, nor should they deter a student from exploring the curriculum.

Academic plans allow students to model different paths to graduation and assess course eligibility and availability across future academic periods. Students can also use their academic plan(s) to create saved schedules for registration. Academic Plans can be created and edited at any time by the student or the student’s advisor. Students can have multiple Academic Plans, however one plan must be primary. Students and Advisors can change an alternate plan to their primary academic plan as needed. At Bowdoin, we do not see a primary plan as “more important” than the other plans – these are all essentially workbooks to help students think through their options as they move through their career.
