MYAP – What is it? Academic Planner The Academic Planner displays the student's assigned Academic Program and the courses the student has planned to take in each school year (represented by grade level). Teachers and Counselors have a similar view to this that allows them to see your chosen courses and make modifications, if necessary. Based on the assigned Academic Program, students must meet credit requirements, course requirements, test requirements and GPA requirements. The goal is to meet each requirement for each grade level.

Select an Academic Program When first accessing the Academic Planner, you will see the uploaded Academic Plan in the dropdown list. All students have been mass assigned the BMHS regular diploma and In-State as the desired Post Grad Location(where you are going to attend college) and your Post Grad Plans. For purposes of course selection, the Academic Plan is hard coded but can be changed by counselor. Click the Next button when finished. Search or Add Courses from the Course Catalog. The Course Catalog can be used to locate courses that would be of interest to you. If you know the name of the course, enter that name in the field, or a partial name. Matching results display. When a course is chosen, a description displays, providing more information about the curriculum of the course, any planning rules set for the course, total number of credits given, course fees (if any), and an option to add that course to the plan. • Courses can only be added for grade levels that have related credit requirements. • Courses can only be added if you/your student has not previously taken the course. • Courses can only be added if it is not currently on the plan. If your counselor or administrator has created course plan templates, some courses may already be on your course plan.

Course Catalog Searching If this is the course you'd like to take, click the Add to Grade button. Courses can be added to any future grade level. This places the course on your plan in the indicated grade level for that credit type. Add Courses- Recommended Method of Course Selection Click in the text box below the number of credits for a certain grade level. Courses meeting that credit type display for selection. Choose the desired course(s). When they are added, they display and the number of credits is updated. The credits assigned to a course appear after the course name. Add enough credits for future years as needed. When the student has met the number of requirements, the alert that displays for each credit type stating not enough credits are selected disappears. Repeat these steps for each credit type. At the end of the process, you should have a clear idea of what courses he will be taking in each grade level. Click the Save icon when finished.

Add Non-Credit Courses to the Plan Adding non-credit courses are done the same way as entering other courses.

Print Course Plan Report To print a copy of your course plan, click the Course Plan Report button at the top of the Academic Planner. A PDF view of your course plan displays, including Non-credit Course selections. Only saved entries on the course plan are printed. If you added a course but did not save, and clicked print, the new course you added is not included in the print.
