University Scholar Plans of Study
All University Scholars must complete and file a plan of study with the Honors Program office. The preliminary plan of study is to be filed after the student is selected as a University Scholar and before the proposed plan is underway. Once a plan has been approved, revisions to a plan of study must be documented on a revised plan of study form and submitted to the Honors Program office with the following approval:

Reason for Change to US Plan of Study:	Approval Required, Submit revised Plan of Study
Time conflict with substitution of course of equal or greater rigor and relevance toward plan of study	Student's US Advisory Committee
Course not offered with substitution of course of equal or greater rigor and relevance toward plan of study	Student's US Advisory Committee
Major/School requirement substitution (not General Education Requirement)	All majors except EG: Student's US Advisory Committee School of EG: Adv, Dept. Head, Dean (on-line department plan of study form)
General Education Requirement (GER) replaced with course from same GER	Student's US Advisory Committee
GER Substitution	US Committee

A final plan of study must be completed and submitted to the Honors Program Office for approval by the Board of Associate Directors prior to the final semester. Failure to adhere to this policy may result in the forfeit of University Scholar Privileges.
