Graduation Planner was extremely helpful in determining which classes I should take and when. I was able to plan the next two years of college and plan to get the rest done soon. It really helped me understand what I needed and better understand the next four years. APAS is another tool that I have found very useful. I had heard people talking about it before, but I didn't know exactly what it was. Now knowing what it is, I am able to see which courses I have taken that meet certain requirements to graduate. Learning how to write a professional email was also very helpful. As I said before, I didn't know how to write a professional email before coming to UMD, learning how I could communicate with my professors so they clearly understood what I needed. These tools have been very useful to me during the first semester here at
