Once the 6th Exploration is complete
all other options disappear
Courses can dual count for credit but will not double the hours in progress or earned
Example: SOCI 1310 Intro to Sociology for Sociology Majors can also count as an Exploration in General Education
Foreign Language Requirement: 4th set of courses on the degree audit
Even if the degree allows the courses to be waived with HS transcript – these still populate
If your major falls under a degree in which the foreign language can be waived but it is not showing green checkmarks - - ask student about the HS transcript
Waiving the foreign language requirement does not give credit for hours
Waiving the foreign language requirement does not give credit for the Modern Foreign Languages option in Explorations for General Education
If the degree requires foreign language, it can dual count in for Modern Foreign Languages in Explorations for General Education

5th set of courses you may or may not see on the degree audit

Developmental Coursework (ENGL 1033D, MATH 1013, MATH 1023)
Earned F’s / Repeated Courses / Withdrawn Courses / Incompletes
*Hours earned for developmental courses have been excluded from Career, Residence, and In-Progress totals.
Use these numbers when figuring out how many hours a student has left/determine general elective requirements
Do Not add hours in the black or gray banners from the degree audit to calculate graduation hours. This will get you the wrong number and causes issues in the end.
EXAMPLE: Career Hours Earned/Req*: 88.00/120.00
In-Progress Hours*: 12.00
120 total hours – 88 completed hours = 32 remaining hours to reach 120
32 remaining hours -12 in progress hours = 20
Highlight or circle the courses that still have outstanding red X’s – proceed with Math 20 remaining hours after completion of current semester – 15 hours of outstanding red X’s = 5 hours
We need 5 hours of General Electives
Map these hours into the graduation map
