4. Transfer all requirements with blank boxes on the Requirements Checklist onto the Course Planning Worksheet for the quarters you have remaining at SCU. 
   1. Use tentative course schedules to anticipate which quarter courses will likely be offered by going to the Office of the Registrar page and looking for the "Deadlines and Registration Information" for the pertinent quarter.

   Confirm that by the time you graduate you will have completed 175 units total, of which 60 units are upper-division (courses numbered 100 and above)
   
   
6. Meet with a peer advisor or Drahmann Center advisor to have your course plan reviewed.

Resources to Answer Your Questions

Public Health peer advisors can assist you in filling these out or to do an initial check after you have completed a plan. Once you have fully completed your course plan you should make an appointment with your assigned faculty advisor to review the plan. If you plan to double-major or add minors to your course plan, you should make an appointment to review it with an advisor in the Drahmann Center who is best informed to advise students across majors and Schools.

Online resources are available throughout the Public Health Advising and Resources site, including Requirement Checklists, Prerequisite Lists, and links to upcoming quarter schedules.
