Student Educational Plan
What is the Student Education Plan?
The Student Education Plan or SEP provides a semester-by-semester plan of the classes you will need to take to complete your educational goal. The courses on the SEP may be a combination of basic skills, general education, major, and elective courses. The SEP is created electronically in WebSMART/DegreeWorks in coordination with a Skyline College counselor.
There are two types of SEP:
Abbreviated SEP
The Abbreviated SEP includes one to two semesters of courses on the student education plan. For non-exempt, first-time new students, the abbreviated education plan will be created during the counseling appointment following orientation.
Comprehensive SEP
The Comprehensive SEP includes all remaining terms needed for a student to achieve their course of study. The comprehensive education plan must include an educational goal and course of study requirements: major, transfer, certificate, applicable prerequisites, basic skills, in addition to referrals to other support and instructional services as appropriate.
Frequent Questions:
Students may view their SEP in DegreeWorks. Visit the website for additional instructions for accessing DegreeWorks.
Students who are undecided on their educational goals or major are strongly recommended to take career exploration classes, workshops, and other activities that will assist in clarifying your educational goals.
Yes, students may update their SEP if the educational goals and major changes. The purpose of the SEP is to provide you an idea or plan-of-action. However, since the SEP does not register you for classes, the SEP can change. It is recommended to work with a Skyline College counselor regularly to ensure your SEP is up-to-date and reflects your most current ed goals.
NOTE FOR FINANCIAL AID: Students seeking Financial Aid will be required to submit a SEP. Having a specific educational goal and major on the SEP is required to be considered for financial aid. Declaring a major of “undecided” or “undeclared” does not meet financial aid SEP requirements.
Continuing students must have a current SEP on file and must maintain a minimum 2.0 gpa to be eligible for priority registration.
