How to Tell if Your Plan is Reviewed

Look for the Reviewed icon next to your plan name. This indicates your plan has received official advisor approval. Once reviewed, your plan keeps its reviewed status - but if you make changes afterward, you'll see an Unreviewed Changes alert indicating those specific modifications haven't been reviewed yet.

Note: Your institution's administrators configure how unreviewed changes are tracked and displayed. The specific alerts you see may vary. Check with you advisor to learn more.
