Advising FAQ
I ran a “What if” report/Degree Audit and it is displaying the wrong General Education requirements. Why?
The new Gen Ed requirements are in effect for students starting or re-enrolling Summer 2018 and later. The Program Requirement Term is what determines General Education requirements, and if this term is set to Summer 2018 (2185) or later the new requirements will display. This term should not change when a student changes major.
The What-If Report request page provides an explanation of all Requirement Terms toward the top of this page. Some Re-enrollment and Transfer students may request permission to change their Program Requirement Term to a term prior to Summer 2018 (2185.
