Afrotc Form 48: Your Plan to Graduate on Time

AFROTC FORM 48: YOUR PLAN TO GRADUATE ON TIME

PURPOSE:

The academic plan is designed to ensure each applicant meets graduation and program completion requirements in a realistic manner. Once the academic plan is established, at a minimum all cadets must have their academic plan re-evaluated and re-certified by their academic advisor every fall term.

You have until the end of your first academic term in the AFROTC program to turn in a completed FORM 48. Failure to turn in an academic plan may result in dismissal from the AFROTC program or placement in special student status.

Changes to the original FORM 48 may only be made for course changes. If you change the year you are graduating or change majors, then you must complete a new academic plan FORM 48.
