E-advising allows you to create an online Course
Planning Worksheet where you can plan courses to
take for the next two terms. A worksheet can be
electronically shared with your advisor, eliminating
the need for handwritten forms. When you place a
course on your worksheet, the course displays for
your advisor to approve in Ramlink. You may print
your degree audit to quickly see which courses or
hours you still need in order to graduate. When you
place a course on a worksheet, you are only
planning for it; however, the worksheet can be used
to quickly search for available sections during the
registration process for the upcoming semester.
