How to plan a minor in the PlanApp?

You can use the Osiris PlanApp to plan your individual study programme and to request approval for your electives. Planning your minor can be done via Course Catalogue and Plan Later. It is also possible to plan an individual minor. For a detailed explanation on how to plan an individual minor, see the manual How to plan an individual minor in the PlanApp?

BE AWARE to always save your plan in between changes and before you close the PlanApp. Additionally, to make your plan definite, you need to request approval for your electives. For information on how to request approval for your electives, see the manual How to request approval for electives?

BE AWARE if a minor consists of both CS and RO courses, you might get the error message "Not enough modules have been chosen for minor xxx" when you try to submit the proposal electives for approval. When you choose sufficient credits from the minor, you can ignore this message and submit your proposal electives for appoval.
