Degree Audit Workshop

I will be having a workshop on how to run your degree audit in Patriot Web on Wednesday, November 11 at 10am and again at 4:30pm in the conference room of 2050 School of Art Building.
The Degree Audit is a very important tool in planning out your progress towards graduation. All students should know how to use this valuable feature in Patriot Web.
Some things we will cover include:
*How to run an audit for yourself
*What an audit looks like for transfer students
*How to run a What-If Analysis if you're thinking of switching to BFA
*Spots in the audit to pay close attention to
Blake Selinsky from the Registrar will also be in attendance to answer any questions that may be above my head.
Hope to see you all there!
