Plan of Study Guide
The course sequence listed below is strongly recommended in order to complete your program requirements. Many Career and Technical Education (CTE) courses have prerequisites and/or corequisites that have been accounted for within this Plan of Study Guide. Please register for each semester as shown using the Student Planning tool in myCWI. Consult your Student Success Advisor for any questions regarding this course sequence plan.
**NOTE**
Collision Repair Technology (CRT) majors are required to complete three general education courses in order to receive an Advanced Technical Certificate. Prior to beginning their CRT courses, students are strongly encouraged to complete ENGL 101 Writing and Rhetoric I, MATH 118 Technical Math, and MATH 118L Technical Math Lab. While it is recommended that students complete all three of their required general education courses during the spring and/or summer semester(s) prior to beginning the program, students may elect to take the additional required GEM courses during the summer semester between their first and second year in the program, if preferred. Students may also complete GEM courses during regular semesters while enrolled in CRT courses, if they feel capable of doing so, and can complete them in any order they prefer.
