After you finish FYP, or your first year as an undeclared student at King’s, you might be wondering: what’s next?
This page is here to help you answer exactly that. It is your hub for information and ideas about the degree paths, resources and student life opportunities that are awaiting you as an upper-year King’s student.
The What’s Next? Advising Guide
The What’s Next? Advising Guide is a student success resource for students entering second year—including new transfer students—with valuable information to help you transition into the next stage of your university studies.
Resources for Students
Worksheets
The worksheets (left) have been designed to help you plan your degree. They do not replace the Academic Calendar or your Degree Audit and should be used in consultation with an Academic Advisor.
On the worksheets courses are denoted in this format: XXXX.00. The XXXX represents the course code for the course you will take (i.e. ENGL 1040 fills the place of ENGL XXXX). The .00 represents the credit hours for the course. Courses ending in .03 are three credit hours (single-semester courses) and courses ending in .06 are six credit hours (full-year courses).
When a course denoted with an XXX has a level code at the front (2XXX), the course can always be taken at that level or higher. So any course that is denoted as 2XXX can be a 2000, 3000 or 4000 level course.
