On this Job aid:
Academic plans can help students map out what courses they plan to take for one or more academic periods in the future, providing an opportunity for students and advisors to collaborate more easily. Additionally, students can use their academic plan to register for their courses once registration periods are open. Academic Plans are available for use by all Lynn students. Students will have a template that aligns with their program of study and can be personalized by your advisor.
Before traying to register for classes, make sure you do not have any holds that will prevent you from registering. Also check that registration appointments terms and dates are open to registration.
