How do I use the “What-if” feature of GRAD Plan?
Updated October 26, 2022
This feature allows you to create a hypothetical degree audit for a different degree, certificate, or academic year using your current academic history. You can use this feature if you are considering declaring or changing your degree and would like to view how your completed courses apply. This feature does not officially change your degree or certificate. To view instructions on how to officially change your major, visit the Change Your Major page. Changes to your degree/major will not be available through GRAD Plan until the next term.
Follow these steps to view how your courses count in a different degree, certificate, major, or academic catalog:
- Click on What-if.
- Select the degree, certificate, or major you are considering.
- Select the appropriate catalog year.
- Click Process What-if.
- Review how your courses would be applied to this new program of study.
- Discuss this new program of study with an academic or program advisor.
Important! In order to have a What-If scenario display a complete audit, you must select all three: Degree, Major, and Academic Year from the picklists.
