The audit will not display correctly if you have not declared a major. Please use the “What If” feature and contact your advisor in order to officially declare.

The audit engine presumes you will successfully complete all the classes you are currently enrolled in so this number includes all of those credits. However, if you withdraw from a class mid-semester, those credits will not be removed from this number until the ‘W’ is processed at the end of the semester. These are the hours applied toward the 120 hours to graduate.

The legend on the left hand side of Griffon GPS should answer all your questions about the meaning of all the various symbols. Please contact the Degree Audit Coordinator in the Registrar’s Office with any further questions.

Your academic advisor is listed at the top of your degree audit. If you hover over the name your advisor’s email address and office phone number will appear. If there is no academic advisor listed please contact the Student Success and Advising Center. If you want to change your advisor please contact the department with whom you want to be advised for an appointment.

In most cases, yes. Griffon GPS is programmed to recognize that some courses can fulfill more than one requirement. If you have any questions, contact your advisor.

If you successfully repeat a course, only your last attempt counts toward degree requirements. The earlier attempt(s) will be placed in the “Insufficient” block at the bottom of your audit. The courses in this area do not count toward your total hours, and they cannot be used to fulfill requirements.

Look at the degree information next to your name at the top of the screen. You’ll notice that the degree box has a drop-down arrow. Use this to select your second degree.

The “What If” function allows you to hypothetically change your major, minor, or concentration. The new “What If” audit will show you what coursework is required for this degree, major, or concentration, what courses you have taken that satisfy requirements, and what courses are still left for you to take, but the “What If” cannot accommodate showing two majors at the same time on the audit. To actually change your current major or add a second major, contact your academic advisor.

Please ask your advisor for assistance. The first step is to clarify what information you believe is wrong. These are the most common concerns and courses of action:

• My major/concentration/minor is wrong or missing on my degree audit. If you have not officially declared or you have changed your major, concentration or minor, contact your advisor for instructions.
• The requirements for my major are wrong. Look at the catalog term that appears on the major requirements block of the degree audit. According to university records this is the catalog that you are using to complete your major requirements. If you believe you should be using older or newer catalog requirements, contact your advisor.
• My transfer courses don’t appear in the right place. If you are concerned about a transfer course appearing in the audit or applying toward a particular requirement in the audit, contact your advisor.
• Courses are not applying in the “right” place. Griffon GPS uses a ‘best fit’ approach for meeting requirements so classes may apply to different blocks as you take more courses. If you have further questions, please contact your advisor.
• Courses are missing from my degree audit. There may be a couple of reasons courses are not being displayed. If you have repeated a course that is not approved to be repeated for credit, only the most recent attempt will be included in your degree audit. If you have coursework earned at MWSU prior to the Summer of 1985 these credit hours will not be included in your degree audit. Contact your advisor or the Registrar’s Office with questions.
• My advisor or department chair gave me permission to substitute or waive a course requirement, but it’s not showing on my audit. Talk with your advisor. Advisors can request an exception to the standard requirements. If exceptions are approved by the Department Chair and the Dean of the given college/school the information is forwarded to the Registrar’s Office for entry into your student record. At this point, the change will appear on your degree audit.
• I am repeating a course I previously passed, but my first attempt is appearing as insufficient on my degree audit. Repeated courses will appear in the “Insufficient” block until the final grade has been posted at the end of the term.

If none of these concerns describe your situation, or if you need additional help identifying what’s wrong, contact the Degree Audit Coordinator in the Registrar’s Office.
