Programs of Study
In order to facilitate degree completion and shorten time to degree, graduate students with regular status must file their Plan of Study (POS) by the time they complete 50 percent of the hours required toward their degree program. The Plan of Study specifies the expected requirements that students must complete for their degree and can be completed and advised electronically.
If you need help with filing your iPOS please download this training PowerPoint (PDF format).
Access or file your iPOS here. After you submit your iPOS please print out a copy and obtain the signatures of your MASJHR committee members and program director. Once the director has signed off please deliver the signed iPOS to Tosha Ruggles in FAB 301H. Your iPOS will then go to the Graduate College for final approval. Your Program of Study is not complete until the Graduate College has approved it. You can track the approval process online through your MyASU account.
