The Graduate Plan of Work (POW) is your roadmap to completing your degree, so it\u2019s in your best interest to set it up as soon as possible, but no later than when you have completed 18 credits (and yes it can be modified later if things change). Note that you should list the items that you plan to count toward your degree requirements, and not every course that you take.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n There are templates set up for both the M.S. Textile Chemistry and M.S. Textile Engineering programs to get you started. For help on creating or modifying a POW, please visit the SIS help manual<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Note that if you plan to do both the M.S. and stay for a Ph.D. in FPS or TTM, you will have a POW for each program; they cannot be combined. However, courses that transfer from M.S. to Ph.D. will be listed as as transfer credit on the Ph.D. POW.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n All graduate students must develop and submit a Plan of Work prior to the end of their second semester. The POW identifies the graduate faculty that will be mentoring the student\u2019s academic progress, the thesis topic and the coursework to be taken for the degree. The POW is submitted online via MyPack Portal<\/a> and must include both a list of the coursework to be undertaken (in all programs) and the thesis topic; be developed by the student and their advisory committee; and be approved by the advisory committee, the DGP and the Graduate School. The student\u2019s committee may request changes to future coursework, and it is essential that students discuss any changes with the committee before requesting any changes to the POW, which must be resubmitted with the same approvals as the original POW. If any coursework diverges from the POW, a new POW form must be submitted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
