10. Similar to the regular AAR , requirements are grouped together.  They are called Academic Requirement Groups.  Academic Requirement Groups will be marked with NOT SATISFIED or SATISFIED.  

CAUTIONSATISFIED includes courses that you entered as a Course Scenario and also courses in progress, so if you never enroll in the What-If course, or if drop or fail an in progress course, a Requirement Group may no longer be fulfilled.

Requirement Group Not Satisfied


orRequirement Group Satisfied


     a. To see how all of your satisfied Requirement Groups are projected to be fulfilled, click on View PDF.  The PDF will display how your requirement groups projected to be fulfilled, below each requirement line.  To see additional details on requirements not fulfilled, select a requirement group.

     b. In this example, the Group is not satisfied, because Requirements within the Group are not satisfied.  Each Requirement Group may contain one or more Requirement.  In this case, the Requirement Group, has three Requirements, one of which is satisfied, and two are not.

Group details


     c. If there is an arrow by a Group or Requirement, you may continue to drill down for additional details.

CAUTION: This is an example of an In progress course fulfilling a requirement.  If you drop this course, the requirement will again become NOT SATISFIED.  What If courses can also satisfy requirements.  There is no way to tell on the html version that the course is a What If course.  It is recommended to instead run the PDF version of the What If AAR to look for What If courses.  See the links below to see how to run the PDF What if.


Use the bread crumbs at the top of the page to return to previous screens.  Click or select the "..." to see additional details.
