Graduation Planning Strategy

The Graduation Planning Strategy (GPS) is a system designed to assist undergraduate students in staying on track for graduation.

  • About the GPS

    The GPS consists of Degree Paths, suggested curricular paths, listing one possible sequence of classes taken term-by-term from matriculation to graduation. Embedded into the Degree Paths are Success Markers. A Success Marker is a critical milestone, which, if not met, will potentially delay a student’s progress toward graduation. 

    While not the only class sequence possible, the Degree Path has been established as a good way to progress in an appropriate fashion toward graduation. Students interested in alternate class sequences should discuss these sequences with their academic advisor.

    GPS: Graduation Planning Strategy

    Degree Path: Four-year sequence of courses, term-by-term, leading to graduation. For students matriculating in Fall 2011, the Degree Path will show one year in quarters and three years in semesters.

    Success Markers: Critical milestones needing to be met at various points during a students time at Wright State University. Students not meeting Success Markers will be contacted by their advisors.

    *Note: Degree paths for all other colleges will be available Fall 2012.
