What is the Graduation Planner?
The Grad Planner is an online tool directly linked to the student's Degree Audit, making it easy to see which classes to take and when to take them. Planning helps you graduate in a more efficient time manner.
Purpose
The purpose of the Graduation Planner is to help you graduate in an efficient and timely manner. You will know exactly what classes to take, when to take them and you will be aware of any pre-requisites needed in order to graduate on time.
- Students must submit their grad plan for review and have an "Approved" graduation plan before applying for graduation. It is wise for students to do this beforehand to ensure they are taking all required courses to fulfill graduation requirements.

Feel free to apply for graduation on the Application Checklist or send an email to graduation@byui.edu so they can make the request for you, this is for both online or on-campus students.
- If you accidentally deleted your grad plan, there is no way to recover it.
