D.  Time Management

No matter what your personal goal is for completing your program, time management will be an important component in achieving your goals. This section has two required elements:

1. Describe your plan for implementing your study schedule. 

2. Use the table in the provided template to create a schedule for yourself.

To complete a program at a standard, full-time pace (8 CUs for graduate students, 12 CUs for undergraduate students), your schedule should include 15-20 hours of study time per week.

If you are enrolled less than full-time, create a schedule that will allow you to complete your course according to your personal goal.

You may find that adding time required for sleep, work, your commute, family time, meals, etc. to the calendar helps you identify time available for study.
