- Contact your academic advisor first to schedule a meeting where you can both work together to develop your academic plan.
Overview of how to use the MyBlueRidge Student Planning system:
- Use the “View My Progress” link under the MyBlueRidge Student Planning menu to see what courses you need to take to complete your academic degree
- Select courses you need to take to complete your academic plan and click the “Add Course to Plan” button
- Once you have added courses to your plan, go to the “Plan & Schedule” menu within the Student Planning system, click on the “Advising” tab under and then click the “Request Review” button.
- Depending on which academic program you are currently enrolled in, your advisor might need to review and approve your plan before you are able to register for classes
- Once your advisor has approved your plan, you can go back to the MyBlueRidge Student Planning system to schedule and register for specific course sections.
