Our New Degree Evaluation Tool

The new degree evaluation tool in the Academics tab of 1600grand is now operational. For those familiar with the Academic Audit tool in the old FIS, this is where you can get similar information, although in a different form.

Review an Evaluation

We are preparing detailed information on how to interpret the degree evaluation, but for now we'll provide a general overview of how information is presented in the evaluation.

The top-most section of the evaluation is curriculum information, such as degree program and declared majors/minors, along with expected graduation date and cumulative GPA.

The following section is a summary of the evaluation that tells you if the student has met a requirement or not.

The third section provides a detailed breakdown of whether or not a student has met a particular requirement and what course the system is using to mark a requirement completed (different courses may appear each time a new degree evaluation is generated).

Any courses that are not being used by the system to fulfill a requirement will be listed under Area Free Electives.

If you get results that show only Free Electives, it's an indication of a data entry error. Please report this result to the Registrar's Office along with the student's name and we'll fix it!
