What is a Degree Plan and why do I need to submit a degree plan?
A: Degree Plan is a list of courses that the student selects to be counted towards his degree in agreement with the
approved coursework plan of the corresponding program of study. The Degree Plan enables a student to choose the
courses only from the pool of courses available to his particular degree program and is useful to avoid any hassles at the
time of student’s graduation.
The degree plan should include the minimum requirements for degree completion and not all the courses
taken are required to be in the degree plan.

A: All students must submit their degree plans preferably during the first semester or latest by the mid of second
semester from the enrollment in the graduate degree program.

How long does it normally take for DGS to process degree plans?
A: Degree Plans normally take a week or less to be processed and approved at the Deanship of Graduate Studies.

plan approvals. If the degree plan is finally approved, the student is notified via email. Likewise if there is any
