  3. Overview of Degree Audit

  4. Academic Policy Consensus • Consistent Interpretation of Academic Policy Bachelor of Business Arts Requirement BA Arts Arts Requirement BA Science Arts Requirement >>Does the requirement mean the same thing across programs?

  5. Requirement Reciprocity • Requirement Reciprocity Across Programs Statistics Course Bachelor of BusinessMath BUSN 203 only STAT 200 or BUSN 203 BUSM 203 // STAT 200

  6. Consistent Course Identification • Setting up Degree Audit to recognize the Course reduces maintenance

  7. Requirement Reuse • Determine if requirements can be reused among programs – building a requirement once and applying it to more than one program reduces setup steps and long-term maintainance. Core courses for AA programs: ENGL 110, ENGL 111, ADMN 165, STAT 203 Note: grouping requirements affects GPA calculations on the evaluation report.

  8. Requirement Hierarchy • The Academic Requirements of an academic program are specified in a hierarchical structure consisting of Program, Requirement, Sub – requirement and Group.

  9. Requirement Hierarchy An Academic Program is composed of one or more requirements. For Degree Audit, the program is associated with one or more Catalogs (Calendars). An Academic Requirement is composted of one or more sub – requirements. A Sub – Requirement is composed of one or more groups. A Group is the fundamental unit of an academic requirement specification - #Take MATH 100

  10. Order of Requirements • Degree Audit evaluates requirements based on the order of requirements. • At the Group level, Degree Audit evaluates based on the syntax used to write the requirement. • Using Excl Requirement Type and Course Reuse allows control whether or not a course can be reused within more than one requirement or sub – requirement.

  11. Naming Convention • A Naming Convention that is easy to understand. 2008-2009 2009-2010 2010-2011 Genarts_08 Genarts_08 Genarts_10 Unchanged requirements will be rolled over with the program into the new catalog year.

  12. Report Presentation • The report displays information based on how requirements are structured and syntax is written. Before Implementing, test various options (Datatel’s Using Degree Audit Syntax Appendix). • Header and Footer custom paragraphs • Display of Unused and Related Courses
