Four-Year Plan Requirement

Back to the Career Services Main Page

The Four-Year Plan requirement is an integral part of the undergraduate experience at Flagler College. The program begins in the freshman year and progresses through senior year. Specific requirements must be completed by freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors. Students must meet each requirement within the designated period to complete their enrollment at Flagler College.

Completion of each phase of the Four-Year Plan is a requirement for graduation.  

Freshman Year: Freshmen spend at least one hour on a computer-based career exploration program known as SIGI (System of Interactive Guidance & Information). SIGI enables students to examine their career interests relative to their major course of study. It will also provide specific information about occupations of interest and will suggest steps students might take to enter their occupation of choice. This assessment is provided by appointment and is located in the Career Resource Room across from the Registrar on the second floor of Wiley Hall. Go here for more>>

Sophomore Year: Sophomores are required to prepare a resume and submit it to the Office of Career Services. The sophomore resume draft allows students to assess, early in the college experience, their work-related skills, and it enables them to identify areas they may need to strengthen in order to develop strong final senior resumes. The due date for the resume draft will be announced at the beginning of each semester. It is submitted via College E-mail. Go here for more>>

Junior Year: Juniors are required to schedule a meeting with the Director of Career Services. During the junior year, students should begin focusing more clearly on their career paths. This time spent with the Career Director affords students the opportunity to discuss their career plans, to explore employment/ graduate school opportunities, and to begin research on prospective employers/ graduate schools.

Senior Year: Seniors are required to submit a professional-grade resume to the Office of Career Services. This document is to be printed on quality paper (at least 20 percent water-marked cotton bond) and produced on a laser printer. The college resume guidelines must be followed to meet this requirement. Resume submission to an academic department does not automatically meet this requirement. With this document on file, the College can better assist students in their pursuit of professional employment. The due date for the resume will be announced at the beginning of each semester. It is submitted via college E-mail. Go here for more>>
