Click on Advisor Center tile to get to the Major Workplan.

Select Review and Approve Majors

There you will see a list of your majors and whether their major workplan is approved or not

Click “View And Approve” the workplan:

You will see the Student’s Information at the top: ID number, Name, their Dean, any other Advisors, and their Class Year.  The Major subject should be listed below that.  Next be a list of courses completed and in progress that can count towards the major, with instructor and grades listed.  You can add notes in the “additional information” section, and check whether or not to include the course in the major.

Then comes the section of “Planned courses.”  The student MUST add at least ONE planned course (the senior thesis/capstone is an easy one to include here).  If there are no courses in this section, the student will be unable to submit the form, which means that you won’t be able to see it as a faculty member.  You can discuss these courses with the student, and you can make changes before you approve it.  Once you approve a major work plan, neither you nor the student can change it.  You, as the faculty member, can add notes only.

The notes section is a good place to mention whether a course transferred in, or taken abroad can count towards the major.  The course details (subject, title, grade [must be a 2.0 or better to transfer]) don’t appear in Bionic, so these notes are very helpful when it comes time to check the student out at graduation to determine whether they’ve completed the major or not.

Finally, here is where you check the “Major Work Plan Approved” box.  Once approved, the major will appear on the student’s Bionic record, and transcript.
