-==== Making a 4-year Plan ==== 
  
-We encourage you to meet with our CS Advisor, Paige Normand, to make a 4-year plan for graduation. 
-You can schedule a meeting with her here: [[https://jmu-cs.as.me/advisor|https://jmu-cs.as.me/advisor]]. 
  
-Not sure if you should reach out to Paige Normand or your CS Faculty Advisor about a topic? 
-Don't worry, there's a [[department:advising-resources:|Wiki Page]] for that!

-====== Option A - Delay 261 ====== 
  
-This option could be described as an "__**A**__pplications-early" or "__**A**__pplied" route. By taking 345 in your 3rd semester you "unlock" 3 CS electives 🏆, and by __also__ taking 240, you "unlock" an additional 3 🌈. \\ 
-For your CS Electives, you need 9 credits above CS 300 and six of those credits must be above 345.
