You can use the What-If functionality to view your audit for:
- Proposing change in major, declaration of a minor or a concentration, declaring a second major or minor, declaring a dual program, and to see how the proposed changes may affect path toward degree completion.
- Planning coursework (looking ahead) in your current or proposed curriculum.
NOTE:
- What-If for proposed curriculum is only available for undergraduate programs. Graduate programs are not included due to the concern of triple counting courses which would be misleading to the student.
- Undergraduate and Graduate students may use the Look Ahead function to plan courses for their current program.
- Undergraduate students may also use Look Ahead to plan coursework in a proposed curriculum.
