Program Completion Plan

Contact your Advisor or School of Graduate Studies to discuss a plan to complete the program within the allotted time during the program’s teach-out period before its closure.

All courses will conclude by the last semester listed; no offerings after that semester.

To stay on track:

  • Register for courses in the term they are scheduled—they will not be offered again

  • Meet with your Advisor to confirm your plan and discuss any possible course substitutions; review your degree audit report each semester.

  • Apply for graduation one semester before you plan to graduate.

Course Substitution

Before enrolling in a course substitution, contact your Advisor or School of Graduate Studies. They can provide personalized advice based on your specific situation and tailor a plan that ensures you complete your program successfully and efficiently. Course substitutions may be available at SCSU, another MinnState institution, or at the University of Minnesota.

  • SCSU Course: Master's or Grad Cert Elective; SCSU Substitute Course: GERO 695
