Where can I record plans to resolve credit gaps?
Every effort should be made to resolve a credit gap by creating a plan that adjusts a student's program in the current term. Where that is not feasible, future plans should be created that identify what courses a student will take and when.
Recording these plans in the Portal helps to manage a complicated process and simplifies future decision-making.
