Schedule Builder Glossary

Degree Plan	A recommended roadmap that students may choose to utilize for planning their academic careers on a term-by-term basis. Whereas the degree audit looks at a program the way an institution does (all the blocks of things required to complete to get the degree), the Degree Plan looks at a program the way a student does: “What do I take each term in order to finish?”
Drop	If a student decides to stop participating in a course BEFORE the withdrawal deadline, it is defined as dropping a course
Enrolled	Means that you have reserved your classes for the upcoming semester online

Pin	To pin a section, select a section of a course(s) on your Calendar View and a red pin will appear on it. Pinning a section will save the section only on your calendar view. Once a section is pinned, as you select and drag days and times to block out, this will not move that section you have pinned. Only the other section(s) of course(s) on the Calendar View will be changed and will view the next available section(s) for the course(s) that you plan to schedule for.
