An education plan (commonly shortened to ed plan) is a personalized semester by semester course of study outlining a strategy for identifying and reaching your educational goals. Included are recommended career planning activities and support tools. An education plan should be developed during your first semester and maintained throughout your enrollment at Palomar College. Promise students must have an abbreviated (1-2 semester) education plan by the end of their first semester, and a comprehensive (long term) education plan by the end of their first year.

To learn more about how to prepare for your education planning session, click here.

The education plan completed by your counselor can be found under the Academics tab in your Student Center in MyPalomar. Log into your MyPalomar, select Academics, then click on My Education Plan

Watch this video to learn how to obtain your Education Plan that was created by your Counselor on your MyPalomar student portal.

It is recommended that students meet with a counselor once a semester. As part of the Palomar Promise program requirement, we ask all Promise students to have an abbreviated (1-2 semester) education plan by the end of your first semester, and a comprehensive (long-term) education plan by the end of your first year. This can be completed with any counselor from Palomar Promise or General Counseling, or if you are a part of another student support program such as EOP&S, DRC, TRIO, STEM and Veterans Services.
