Plan of Study (iPOS)

What is the Interactive Plan of Study (iPOS)?

The Interactive Plan of Study (iPOS) functions as an agreement between the student, the academic unit, and the ASU Graduate College. It will support you as you make progress toward your degree requirements. (Learn More)

The iPOS allows you to plan for your course load, can guide registration each term, and provides an anticipated timeline for degree completion.

How do I select courses for my iPOS?

At the time of admission to an online graduate program in the New College of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences students are provided with a sequence of courses.

How to create an iPOS

To access the iPOS: Login to My ASU. From the My Programs box, under the Programs tab, select iPOS. Select Graduate Interactive Plan of Study (iPOS). Note: Pop up blockers may need to be turned off.  You will find instructions for submitting the iPOS in the downloadable how-to guide.

For additional information review the Program Handbook.

Check the online psychology event spotlight list for upcoming informative virtual sessions.

2.) Apply for graduation via MyASU Applying for graduation and registering to attend in-person graduation ceremonies are separate but related issues.

Applying and paying your graduation fee ensures that your degree will be processed after coursework is complete and certification of your degree is issued.  Registering for attendance at ceremonies ensures that seating will be made available for you and your guests for the event(s) you will attend.  It also ensures tickets will be reserved for those events that require tickets.
