00:00:09,990 to assist students in academic degree planning. 4 00:00:09,990 --> 00:00:15,990 To begin, navigate to one.iu.edu and search for “iGPS.” 5 00:00:15,990 --> 00:00:18,990 The Task Center

00:00:41,990 --> 00:00:43,990 You may want to use this route when 14 00:00:43,990 --> 00:00:46,990 a friend, an advisor, or an instructor recommends 15 00:00:46,990 --> 00:00:48,990 a course or subject area and you want 16 00:00:48,990 --> 00:00:52,990 to get straight to adding that recommendation to your plan. 17 00:00:52,990 --> 00:00:55,990 Select your campus, degree level, and the term 18 00:00:55,990 --> 00:00:58,990 to begin your search for courses. 19 00:00:58,990 --> 00:01:01,990 Once those are selected, the Attributes section 20 00:01:01,990 --> 00:01:03,990 will populate and allow you to select 21 00:01:03,990 --> 00:01:05,990 types of courses that have been 22 00:01:05,990 --> 00:01:07,990 designated by your campus. 23 00:01:07,990 --> 00:01:10,990 You can also enter the

00:01:19,990 which include class attributes, number of credits, 27 00:01:19,990 --> 00:01:25,990 course level, academic department, or other relevant terms. 28 00:01:25,990 --> 00:01:28,990 On the search results page, the "Scheduled" column 29 00:01:28,990 --> 00:01:31,490 tells you when the course is being offered 30 00:01:31,490 --> 00:01:33,990 while "Typically Offered" says what semester(s) 31 00:01:33,990 --> 00:01:38,990 (FA, SP, or SU) the course is usually available. 32 00:01:38,990 --> 00:01:42,490 There are two options under Actions: the checkbox adds this 33 00:01:42,490 --> 00:01:46,990 course to your Plan and the star adds it to your Bookmarks. 34 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,990 Selecting the Plan checkbox will produce a pop-up 35 00:01:49,990 --> 00:01:52,990 allowing you to indicate which term 36 00:01:52,990 --> 00:01:56,990 to add this course to and the number of credits if it is variable. 37 00:01:56,990 --> 00:01:58,990 You can also leave notes like: 38 00:01:58,990 --> 00:02:02,990 I want to take it with a Professor Jones. 39 00:02:02,990 --> 00:02:04,990 You could also mark this course 40 00:02:04,990 --> 00:02:07,990 to be a Backup course instead
