Academic Plan

An approved academic plan is required for all students pursuing a degree; only courses that are part of your approved plan will count toward your degree requirements. You may create your academic plan through Workday. 

Registration for classes in your first semester at Stevens is permitted without an academic plan. During the first semester, you are expected to register for the core courses required for your degree, as shown in the catalog, and any courses that were stipulated in your acceptance letter (students in School of Business programs can defer the stipulated courses). 

Engineering undergraduates are required to submit an approved academic plan through Workday, before the end of the third semester.

Science or computer science undergraduates are required to submit an academic plan before the end of their second semester of enrollment.

Undergraduates on the Reduced Load Plan have one additional semester to submit an approved academic plan.

Transfer engineering students are required to submit an approved Academic Plan Form the semester before enrolling in their first technical elective.

All other transfer students are required to submit their academic plan after meeting with their advisor for their second semester at Stevens. If you have any questions, please contact the Office of Undergraduate Academics at 201.216.5228.

Graduate students must have an approved academic plan on file before they register for their second semester.

A registration hold will be placed on the account of any student who has not submitted an academic plan after the completion of nine credit hours. Please contact [email protected] with questions about this policy.

Current students should start by visiting the Transfer Credit Articulation page to see if the course being transferred has previously been evaluated. 

For courses that do not appear in the transfer credit articulation database, obtain a course description and syllabus from the external college at which you are taking the course (online descriptions are sufficient). 

Students must submit an Application for Transfer Credit request via Workday for each individual course. If the course does not appear in the Transfer Credit Articulation database, please attach the syllabus or course description to the request. 

The request will be processed by the Office of Undergraduate Academics and evaluated by the academic department, if necessary. 

Once the Application for Transfer Credit is approved, an official transcript from the external institution, showing a grade of C or higher in the course(s) being transferred, must be sent to the Office of the Registrar at [email protected]. Please note: We cannot accept transcripts from students. Transcripts must be sent to our office directly from the external college or university.  

The Office of the Registrar will enter the approved course to your record and the Office of Undergraduate Academics will add the equivalency. 

More information is available in the University Policy Library. Questions about equivalencies can be sent to [email protected]. Questions about receipt of transcripts can be sent to [email protected]. 

Graduate students requesting transfer credits must submit an Application for Transfer Credit in Workday. A course syllabus and description must be attached to the request, and a Workday request must be submitted for each individual course.  

The request will be routed to the Office of Graduate Academics and the program director for approval. If the request is approved, an official transcript from the external institution, showing a grade of B or higher in the course(s) being transferred, will have to be sent to the Office of the Registrar at [email protected].

Please note: We cannot accept transcripts directly from students. Transcripts must be sent to our office by the external college or university.  

Students in their final semester at Stevens must submit all Applications for Transfer credit and have all transcripts sent to [email protected] within two weeks of the course completion date.
