  16. These boxes are interactive from top to bottom. If you choose Survey of Calculus, it removes Calculus II from your Math 2 choices

  17. Continue this process, going down each group, before moving to the right to the next group, and completing each row of groups before moving down to the next row of groups

  18. Once you have completed all the course selections, click on the Working Plan tab at the bottom of the screen

  19. Before you made your changes, the working plan looked like this, with the Custom Course Plan categories in the cells

  26. Complete just the Language Classes as if you were performing an Custom Course Plan

  27. Now, click on the Working Plan tab

  29. These cells operate just like the ones in the Customizable Course Plan sheet

  31. If you click on the tab for the Full Plan worksheet, you can see a printable version of your entire course plan without blanks

  32. While you may need to adjust the font size for classes with larger names, you now have an overall plan ready for printing
