Timeline
Having a plan and timeline are key to completing your degree when YOU want to do so! A Graduation Plan should include all of the courses you will take each semester, and your practice and TExES Teacher certification Exams and Application to the Educator Preparation Program.
Your timeline will include study and registration time allowances, as well as application delays. You will also allow time to retake exams (just in case) so that the exams do not delay your student teaching and graduation. You can put these dates on a calendar, but you might want to create an overall timeline. It could look like this:
