What the Student Advisement Report
Is:
- It is an advisement tool designed to enhance student advisement
sessions.
- It is an UNOFFICIAL guide that displays how a student's
coursework is applied to his or her degree program.
- It is an UNOFFICIAL source of information on degree
requirements and G.P.A.s.
Getting Started
Always start with the "Detail Requirements" version of the
Student Advisement Report. Be sure also to see if there is
anything listed under the "Additional Information" version.
Advisement reports are divided into different areas. These may
vary by program. Typical areas are the major area, the core
area, and "free electives." For each area, the advisement report
gives a G.P.A., calculated solely on the basis of the grades shown
in that area. This G.P.A. is accurate for the grades shown, but is
not an official G.P.A. It is informational only.
The "Courses Not Used" area at the bottom of the advisement
report shows all courses that have not been used to satisfy some
requirement. This includes failed courses and those from which a
student has withdrawn. These grades may count in a student's
official G.P.A., major G.P.A. or honors G.P.A.
Note that the overall and program G.P.A.'s shown at the top of
the advisement report include all grades in all courses taken. The
area G.P.A.'s, as already noted, are calculated solely on the basis
of the grades shown in each area.
All G.P.A.'s shown on the student advisement report are
unofficial.
