I see what you’re building — a term-by-term path. It’s close, but you’re right: something is off. Let’s check it against your audit + major map:

🔎 Issues in Your Draft

Fall 2025 (current)

You listed: ARC 111, ARC 301, ARC 394, SOS 111.
Missing: GCU 113 (US & AZ Social Studies) — this is already in your actual Fall 2025 schedule, and it covers AMIT.

✅ Fix: Add GCU 113 back in → Fall 2025 = 15 credits.

Spring 2026

You listed ARC 302, ARC 112, ARC 331, ARC UD Elective.
That’s 15 credits — good balance.
BUT: Audit shows ARC 331 is required, yes, but usually taken after ARC 111/112. You’re okay here, but confirm with advisor about sequencing.

Summer 2026

You wrote 12 credits of Gen Studies.
Overload — and not realistic for summer. Also, audit only shows 3 Gen Studies categories left (SCIT 8 cr, QTRS 3 cr, GCSI 3 cr) → ~14 credits, but some can be spread.

✅ Fix: Summer = 2 courses max (e.g., SCIT + QTRS). Leave 1 for later term.

Fall 2026

ARC 401, ARC 421, ARC 332, ARC UD Elective = 15 credits.
Looks solid.

Spring 2027

ARC 402, ARC 422, 2 ARC UD Electives = 15 credits.
Solid.

General Studies mismatch

AMIT = covered by GCU 113 (Fall 2025)
SUST = covered by SOS 111 (Fall 2025)
Left after Fall 2025:
- SCIT (8 credits, two sciences w/labs)
- QTRS (3 credits)
- GCSI (3 credits)

So you don’t need to schedule AMIT or SUST later — your plan double-counted.

✅ Corrected Plan

Fall 2025 (current)

ARC 111 (3)
ARC 301 (3)
ARC 394 (3)
SOS 111 (3, SUST)
GCU 113 (3, AMIT)
= 15 credits

Spring 2026

ARC 302 (6)
ARC 112 (3)
ARC 331 (3)
ARC UD Elective (3)
= 15 credits

Summer 2026

SCIT course w/lab (4)
QTRS (3)
= 7 credits

Fall 2026

ARC 401 (6)
ARC 421 (3)
ARC 332 (3)
ARC UD Elective (3)
= 15 credits

Spring 2027

ARC 402 (6)
ARC 422 (3)
ARC UD Elective (3)
GCSI course (3)
= 15 credits

Summer 2027 (if needed)

Backup slot (if petitioned credits aren’t approved or you still owe SCIT/GCSI).

🎯 Takeaway

You’re not wrong — your draft was close.
The error: you still had AMIT + SUST listed as future generals, but they’re actually already covered this Fall (GCU 113 + SOS 111).
That frees space and keeps your plan at ~15 credits/term, which is realistic.

👉 Do you want me to also show you which exact ASU courses from the General Studies Gold list are best picks for SCIT, QTRS, and GCSI, so you don’t waste time in random classes?
