Producing a Requirement Advisement Report

The Requirement Advisement report lists the contents (or structure) of a specific academic requirement or all of the academic requirements that meet the criteria established for the report. This report is an easy way to verify the academic requirements for any academic program or plan. For example, if you need a printout of all of the academic requirements that are defined for an undergraduate psychology major, you can run this report.

While preparing to print this report, you can request that the requirements, lines, and courses be summarized in generalized terms or in specific detail. The parameters that you define for the requirement advisement report appear on the report.

Here's how to create a Requirement Advisement report:

  1. Select the academic requirement or enter other general parameters and print options on the Requirement Advisement Report page.

  2. Click the Run button to process the report.

Academic Institution

Each requirement is associated with only one academic institution. A value in this field is required.

Important! The Academic Career, Academic Program, Academic Plan, and Academic Sub-Plan fields on this page are used for analysis purposes. These fields are not just prompt values. Because fields are analyzed in a hierarchical order, appropriate field values are system-supplied. For example, suppose that you enter an academic program, the appropriate academic career field value is automatically supplied by the system. If any of these fields are left blank, the report will contain all careers, programs, plans, and sub-plans that satisfy the search criteria.

Field or Control

Description

Academic Career

Enter the academic career that is affected by the requirements.

Academic Program

Enter the academic program that is contained within the academic career.

Academic Plan

Enter the academic plan that is an area of study (for example, major or minor) within the academic program.

Academic Sub-Plan

Enter the academic sub-plan that is a further specialization within the academic plan. A value in this field is optional.

Honor Blank Values

Select if the blank fields on this page represent actual values. The default is clear. For example, if you select the check box and leave the Academic Program field blank, then the report will not contain an academic program, because no program has been specified. If the check box is clear, the blank field acts as a wildcard and every academic program in the specified career will be included in the report.
