* Note: This form is used to revise a Plan of Study previously approved by the Graduate College. Most graduate students do not need to revise their Plan of Study. If it does become necessary to modify an approved Plan of Study, the revision form need only be completed once and may be submitted during the term the student plans to graduate.
