The academic plan helps you visualize and plan your degree for the next few years. But, when you add courses to your plan, they are not added to your schedule. Instead, when searching for available courses in the current term, use the filter to view open courses. Once you do that, every course that appears should have the View Available Sections bar to click on. Click on this bar and you will see sections with an Add Section to Schedule button.
