FAQ

An academic evaluation is a document that lists all courses required for your degree program, based on your catalog year. An official academic evaluation identifies courses already completed and those still to be taken. You may make your request for academic evaluation online through ERNIE. Click the Student Services tab in the top right corner, then select the Office of the Registrar, and then click the X under the online heading for Academic Evaluation. Please allow up to 30 days for your evaluation to be updated.

Speak with your program coordinator regarding course substitutions. Course subs are not guaranteed and should be obtained prior to enrollment. Course substitutions must be approved in writing and submitted to the Office of the Registrar before it will be reflected on your academic record.

If your course substitution was submitted after you received your degree completion evaluation, it will be applied during the next evaluation.

If your course substitution was submitted prior to your graduation application and is not showing on your degree completion evaluation, contact your graduation evaluator to ensure receipt.

Course subs will only show if the course has been completed and graded.

The dropped course will not appear on the academic transcript. 2. After the first deadline expires, students may drop courses through the 10th week of each fall and spring semester and through the first five weeks of each summer term. A grade of 'W' will appear on the transcript; however, it will not affect your grade point average.
