The Supporting Elective Plan must be submitted and approved during the second semester of the freshman year; transfer students must submit and receive approval for their Plan in their first semester. If the Plan is not submitted before students are nearly finished with their General Education courses, it may affect their financial aid.

The Plan must include at least 15 hours of upper-division courses. Minors and/or certificates can be included in the Supporting Elective Plan, but General Education courses cannot. Credit hours are limited for the following area:

  • MUAP and/or MUED: no more than 4 hours total between the two areas
