Students who enroll from November 21 to December 21 will be subject to the only Spring 2023 auto-drop for non-payment on the morning of Wednesday, January 4. Students that enroll on or after December 22 will not be subject to auto-drop.

Degree Planner for Academic Success

We are pleased to share that most AS-T and AA-T degrees are now available in Degree Planner, a tool that helps students map courses towards degree completion. Degree Planner sequences a student’s declared major and general education course requirements, eliminating confusion so that students don’t take unnecessary units and can transfer sooner. Students can interact with their degree map to adjust their plan based on their interests, individual needs, and life circumstances. Degree Planner also makes enrolling in courses easy. From the tool, students can add courses to the eCart and complete the enrollment process with just a couple of clicks.

Help us get the word out! Encourage your students to log in to Degree Planner by visiting eServices, clicking on the Academic Progress tile, and then Degree Planner on the menu bar. For more information, visit the Degree Planner page, watch the video, or contact Jesus Morales at MoraleJ2@losrios.edu.
