Student Educational Plan (SEP)

Make sure to meet with an academic counselor to complete your Student Educational plan (SEP). All students need to complete an SEP to maintain enrollment.

An SEP outlines a suggested course of study based on your major or transfer plan. You are encouraged to update your SEP each semester or when a change is made to your major, transfer institution, or other pertinent objectives. Counselors can also help with math, English and ESL Placement.
