For students considering a change of major, the degree audit is also used to present a “what if” showing how their past and current classes may fulfill the requirements of a different major.

Prerequisites

  • Create academic degrees (e.g. certificate, bachelor’s, etc.) and associate them with degree levels (e.g. undergraduate, graduate, etc.)

  • Create majors which may be majors, minors or certificate programs. Majors should lead to a credential such as a certificate, bachelors, etc.

  • Create courses required to complete the academic program in the course catalog. For all aspects of the degree audit to function, all course codes must have a consistent length of subject codes. For example, having the course codes MT100 and COM303 will not function because MT and COM are different character lengths.

  • If this custom control has a value of Y the Degree Audit footer’s Required Catalog Credits value will come from the Credits to Graduate box on the Major Detail box. (Admin > Major Maintenance > Edit the Major)

  • If this custom control is N there is a special requirement 999 in the Degree Audit Requirement Table to allow the credits to graduate to be expressed per audit (catalog) semester. This is useful if the number of credits to graduate has changed over the years. This requirement would not be processed as a normal requirement in the Degree Audit but exists for informational purposes only. The level of the 999 requirement is 1. To employ this method, set the control to N and also create a Level Group 1 requirement with the requirement number 999 and tied to the desired semester and major.

  • If this custom control is N and no 999 sequence exists, the degree audit adds up the requirement credits to determine credits required to graduate.

...

Requirement: This is the code for the requirement set.  If Level Group 1 this would be a course number. If level group 2, it would be a subject code.  If level group 3, it would be a code for a group you created, if level group 4, it would be electives. 

...

Order Number: This field provides requirement processing order. Lower numbers are processed first. A zero means process last.  It enables the user to specify the processing order, within level group 1, and for all other levels level groups as a whole. Requirements are processed as first by all level group 1 requirements.  The level group 1 requirements are then put in process number order (lowest to highest with 0 meaning last).  For all requirements with the same process order number, the requirements are processed in requirement number then sequence number order.  All other requirements (levels 2-4) are sorted by process order.   This enables a requirement in a higher level to be processed before a lower level requirement.  If the process order is the same requirements are processed in level, requirement and sequence number order.

Sequential Order: This integer field is used to order Level Group 1 requirements for use in the Predictive Scheduling of the batch reverse degree audit.
