Make your 4-year graduation plan
The Four-Year Graduation Plan (FYGP) is a commitment to help students stay on track and earn their undergraduate degree in four years. The no-cost program helps students set academic goals, create clear academic plans, and stay on their path by following program guidelines and requirements. The plan provides eligible students with a unique combination of advising, priority course scheduling, and individual attention, which helps students graduate in four years. Eligible students will be automatically enrolled after attending a New Student Orientation. During the fall semester, students must attend one mandatory meeting, in which an FYGP contract is completed and signed. Exploratory Studies students must declare a major by the last day of their first semester to maintain eligibility and enrollment in the program. The Four-Year Graduation Plan reinforces PennWest’s commitment to student success.
Stay on track with Starfish
Starfish is an online software tool that provides students with a central location to connect to the people and services that can help students stay on the path to success. Starfish will automatically provide students with connections to current instructors, advisers, and campus services. If students have a question or need help, they can “Raise your Hand” in Starfish. The mobile-friendly tool helps faculty, staff, and other PennWest Edinboro community members support students when help is needed. Examples include but are not limited to, how to schedule classes, identifying an academic adviser, checking faculty office hours, and so much more.
