Graduate Plan of Work
The Graduate Plan of Work (GPOW) is an agreement between students, departments and the Graduate School for which classes each graduate student must take in order to complete their degree. The GPOW should be revisited at least once a semester to help students plan the best pathway to graduation. The Graduate School Handbook provides more detailed information about the Plan of Work.
