Q: How do I know which classes are required for my degree or certificate? 💭

A: All students have access to their academic plan in Self-Service. Your academic plan shows the classes that are required to earn your certificate or degree, including how your previous coursework applies to requirements and the classes you still need to complete. Taking classes that do not apply to these requirements may result in your financial aid offer being reduced.

You will receive a message sent each term to your Wake Tech student email if you register for any course that falls outside of your academic requirements.
