As its name suggests, the "What-if Analysis" feature of the
Student Advisement Report allows students to see how many program
requirements they have already satisfied were they to change
majors.
Students may run a "What-if Analysis" against any available
program. Officially designated advisors may also run a "What-if
Analysis" for their advisees.
Important Points
The phrase "Entry Term" refers to a student's catalog-year
requirements. Select you entry term from the drop-down list. New
students whose entry term does not yet appear should select the
latest entry term available.
- At "Step 2" of the "What-if Analysis," students choose the
program for which they would like to run an advisement report. If a
program does not appear in the drop-down box, either the program
has not been coded or it is not an official program of study.
- Programs begin with a two-letter designation indicating the
school that offers them. The designations are: SJ (St. John's
College of Liberal Arts and Sciences), PS (the College of
Professional Studies), ED (the School of Education), TO (The Peter
J. Tobin College of Business) and PH (the College of Pharmacy and
Allied Health Professions). * Note that not all programs
of study are offered on all campuses. When selecting a program for
the "What-if Analysis," be sure to check the campus indicator (Q,
R, S or M) and the degree and major indicators.
- The prompt "evaluation term" at "Step 4" refers to a student's
anticiapated term of graduation. For now, everyone may use the
default term, "The End of Time."
