Report Guidelines for Students

Student Advisement Reports are available for all undergraduate degree programs, for the JD program in the School of Law, and for many graduate programs. Coding is ongoing, so reports will become available for other programs as they are coded. Recently added are reports for all graduate programs in the School of Education and the College of Pharmacy and Allied Health Professions.

Remember, information on advisement reports is "real time" -- entirely accurate as of the point in time the report is run. If a student record is changed after a report is run, a new report will reflect that change

To see a complete list of currently available programs, select the "What-if Analysis" option.

About the G.P.A.
In the first section of the report, both the overall G.P.A. and the program G.P.A. are based on all courses taken.

All other G.P.A.'s are calculated based solely on the grades shown in the area. All G.P.A.s on Student Advisement Reports are unofficial.

Grades that appear in the "Courses Not Used" area at the bottom of the report may calculate into the overall G.P.A., the major G.P.A. and the honors G.P.A.

The Structure of Your Advisement Report
When you review your Student Advisement Report, you'll notice that the letters "H", "R" and "T" appear any number of times under the column headed "source" (on the far-right margin of the report). The letters represent the following terms:

  • "H" = "History" (a completed course)
  • "R" = "Registered" (a course for which the student has registered, or a course without a grade)
  • "T" = "Transfer" (a course for which the student has received transfer credit)

When you print your report, select "landscape orientation" to see all available fields.

Checking Your Degree Requirements
Please note that degree requirements for any given program may remain the same or may change from Fall semester to Fall semester. Changes may be minor or significant. As changes are coded, the advisement report will automatically take any changes into account.

Students can find the effective date of their degree requirements by checking their "Catalog Term," which is located in the top center area of the "Detail Requirements" version of the advisement report.
