Chapter 7: Degree Works

18

Running a “What-If”

Students must read their Degree Works in a “What If” format if:

  • They want to see how their courses fit into a different Major, or
  • If their Pathway or Major is different from their Program
    (You can see this on the Degree Works worksheet, in the Student View Box)

Directions:

  1. Select “What If” from the left-hand side navigation page
  2. Select the most current catalog year
  3. Select the Major from the drop-down menu. You will then see the major appear in the Chosen Major box on the right-hand side.
    • Note: If you accidentally selected the wrong Major, just click on the Remove button and select the correct Major from the drop-down menu
  4. Click on the “Process What-If” button

You will see the requirements for the new Major and how all completed and in-progress coursework is applied to the What-If major.
