Reviewing an Evaluation
(more detailed information is available in the PDF file Interpreting the Degree Evaluation)

The first section of the degree evaluation report summarizes the student's curriculum information and provides an overall list of degree requirements, such as overall GPA, minimum number of credits hours, etc.

The next section of the report is divided into program Areas. These areas may be displayed as Departmental Requirements, Lower Division General Education Requirements, Major Requirements, Upper Division General Education Requirements, General Electives, and other degree requirements. The requirements appear on the left and the courses or credits that meet the requirements are located on the right of the report.

Departmental Requirements are specific to each program and typically included courses that can also be used as part of other areas.

Lower Division General Education Requirements are the University requirements that all undergraduate students must complete.

Major Requirements include all courses necessary to complete the major. The major area will include all major courses taken and enforces the major GPA requirement for the program.

Upper Division General Education Requirements include the requirements for clusters and minors.

General Electives include all other courses taken or attempted that do not apply toward any other requirements.

Other Degree Requirements include various tests and assessments required for graduation.
