Students may have as many plans as they wish, but only ONE plan can be the Primary Plan. A primary plan is the student's most serious plan.  The primary plan also controls the student Graduation Monitor Tracker Bar and is used for reporting purposes.

Utilize the Career Cluster 

1. Use the My Career Cluster Column and type in “yes,” or use the funnel to select yes.  This filters the choices list to only those with a career cluster matching what was selected on the details page on this Four Year Plan.

2. A different way to filter is to use the Career Cluster filter to select the one on the plan or any other career cluster to see the classes offered.
