Navigating Catalyst: New Terminology

Today’s Forum Highlights• UCINN is the universal code for University of Cincinnati’s

Academic Institution

• There are four categories on how students Academic Career will be defined. (Undergraduate, Graduate, Law, Medicine)

• A student’s Academic Program is defined by their college’s numeric code and intended degree. (ex. 15BAC: undergraduate degrees in A&S)

• Academic Plan is area of study directly related to a career/program. (ex. Biol-BS: Major-biology, B.S award)

• The Sub Plan is a concentration within an academic plan. Not all plans have sub plans and are not a student requirement.
