What-if Scenarios
Students can create 鈥淲hat-if鈥 scenarios related to their majors, minors or courses. Students can view these scenarios on the on-line report, not as PDFs. When a student creates a What-if scenario, it does not officially change the student鈥檚 program, plan or enrolled course information.
View the Student Planner
Students can also plan course selections and view these on the online report. If a student has identified any courses for future enrollment, you can view these on the Student鈥檚 Planner.
