- Plans are identified as one of the two types described below.
- Nominated

A “plan” is a selection of components (courses, clusters, majors and minors) that might be completed to meet the Arts and Sciences curricular requirements. As courses are completed, the status of the components changes with the goal being to complete the entire plan, a requirement for graduation. The Arts & Sciences Curricular Planner displays the current status of each component using the following status indicators:
- Insufficient (indicated visually by a rex X)
- Each requirement for which components have not been selected is considered insufficient
- Sufficient (indicated visually with an inverted yellow triangle)
- Each requirement for which components have been selected is considered sufficient
- Sufficient & In Progress (indicated visually with a blue square)
- Each requirement for which components have been selected and are currently being taken is considered sufficient & in progress
- Complete (indicated visually with a green circle)
- Each requirement of a plan is complete when all the components and rules at that level and lower are complete. When all selected courses are successfully completed, the entire plan is considered complete.
