• Financial Planning for Young Adults

  Feb 19, 2020 3:00 pm266 views

  Financial Planning for Young Adults (FPYA), developed in partnership with the CFP Board, is designed to provide an introduction to basic financial planning concepts for young adults. The FPYA course is organized across eight separate modules within a 4-week window. Topics covered include financial goal setting, saving and investing, budgeting, financial risk, borrowing and credit. Because financial planning is such a personal topic, you will be encouraged to define your own financial goals and objectives while we discuss concepts and provide tools which can be applied in helping you reach those goals.

  Within each module, you will view a combination of traditional lecture style videos along with video vignettes that introduce financial topics for discussion among participants. The video vignettes provide a unique and exciting component to this course. Each vignette introduces a real-world scenario where financial decisions must be made and financial planning concepts can be applied. You will be challenged to think critically about each scenario and decide how you might come to a resolution if ever faced with a similar situation.

  Finally, the course also includes material throughout which is focused on career opportunities in financial planning, including video interviews with actual CFP® professionals and other professionals working in this exciting and growing career area. The final module in the class is devoted to the topic of financial planning as a career.

• Guide to Fall 2020 Credit/No Credit Decisions

  Dec 16, 2020 2:45 pm31 views

  Should I elect Credit/No Credit this semester?

  This is a complicated question and there are individual answers. I will try to provide a thorough guide below to help you make decisions. If you want to discuss your situation in a one on one meeting after reading this, please make an appointment via the appointment scheduler https://go.illinois.edu/SOCWadvisingappointment, please make sure you do so before January 5th.

  Why consider electing credit/no credit?

  • If you only need the course for elective, Gen Ed, minor, or major credit and you will pass with a C-, C, C+, or B- but don’t want that grade to impact your grade point average.
  • If you are in a course that is preparing you for the next level of a subject (i.e. Chem 101 preparing for Chem 102) and you want to continue to be enrolled and learning in that prep course but don’t want the grade to factor into your GPA.

  Why lean toward keeping the course for a grade (rather than electing C/NC)?

  • If you are going on to a professional school, such as Law, Pharmacy, Medicine, etc. you should be checking with those schools to see how they will interpret a CR/NC grade, particularly a NC grade, before you make a decision.
  • If the course is a requirement of some sort (you need the credit), you never want to re-take the course and/or do not have time to re-take in a future semester before your internship, and it is not preparing you for the next level of a course (i.e. Chem 101 preparing for Chem 02) and you will pass the course with a D-, D or D+.
  • If you will pass a course with a B+ or higher, I would recommend taking the grade you have earned for the semester.

  When is it tricky?

  If you’ve got a B is probably the trickiest. A “B” is not a bad grade at all and I would probably recommend in most cases you take the grade, but there might be situations where it might be the right decision.

  You also need to take into consideration any requirements related to your Financial Aid award. Information about that can be found here: https://osfa.illinois.edu/process/satisfactory-academic-progress/.

  How do I elect CR/NC?

  The Registrar’s Office is creating a form for students to elect Credit/No Credit. Beginning Saturday, you can go to https://registrar.illinois.edu/registration-process/credit-no-credit or on the MyIllini student dashboard https://student.myillini.illinois.edu.

  If you have ANY questions, please reach out to me and we can e-mail or set up an appointment to discuss your situation.

  Happy Holidays and Enjoy your break!
