Abstract We describe the development and successful implementation of a spreadsheet used to help undergraduates in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at the University of Florida plan their courses until graduation. The sheet is similar to a table with rows for courses, and columns for terms. For each course, the user enters a one in the cell for the term to take the course. The sheet computes various things, checks that all corequisites and prerequisites are satisfied, and that each course is chosen. In addition, various documentation is provided.
