Degree Audit Exceptions
Any approved exceptions to the prescribed requirements will be posted to the degree audit. Degree audit exceptions must be approved by the appropriate authority in the school.
Refreshing the Degree Audit
Audits are automatically refreshed on a weekly basis. When registration changes or changes to major/minor declarations are made, audits are refreshed overnight. Students, advisers, and administrators also have the ability to refresh audits on-demand. Please note: Unless changes have been made to your academic record (registration, major/minor declaration, etc.), you will not see any changes to the degree audit.
- Click on Refresh My Audits at the top of the page.
- It may take some time for the audit to refresh. The refresh will still continue if you navigate to a different application or even if you log out of YES.
What-If Audits
What-If audits allow students, advisers, and administrators to create potential scenarios for additional or different degree requirements and to see how students could meet those requirements based on inprogress and completed courses (Academic Options), as well as courses in the student’s planner (Course Options). Academic Options and Course Options can be utilized in the What-If audit both together and separately.
NOTE: Courses must be tagged with a term in your planner in order to utilize them in the What-If audit. For help with the Academic Planner, please see the user guide.
Disclaimer: “The What-If audit is for hypothetical planning purposes only. Courses, classes, majors, minors, and concentrations may or may not be offered and may have additional stipulations for entry. Please refer to the appropriate school catalog as the authoritative document governing degree requirements.”
