What-If Report (for Advisors)

The What-If Academic Advisement Report is similar to the Academic Advisement Report (Degree Progress Report), but it incorporates user-selected scenarios to generate an unofficial report to show degree progress if a student were to change a major, minor, concentration, catalog year, etc.

Below are instructions on how advisors can access the What-If Academic Advisement Report.  Note: This report can be run when the Degree Progress Report is otherwise unavailable for inactive/suspended students.
