About the Academic Requirements Report
(Students who matriculated in August 2011 or later)
What is the Academic Requirements Report?
The Academic Requirements Report provides students with a tool to evaluate where they are in fulfilling their college requirements including total units towards graduation and residency, the Emily Balch seminar, Quantitative Requirements, other Approaches or Divisional Requirements, and PE Requirements (including Wellness, Swim Test, and Elective PE Courses).
Where do I see my Academic Requirements Report?
You can access the Academic Requirements Report from their Student Center. Once you're in the student center, click on the drop down for "other academic" and then on "Academic Requirements." A students "My Academic Requirements" report is generated.
Tips when using the Academic Requirements Report?
- Courses you have completed with a 2.0 or better and courses are you currently registered for will complete a requirement in the report. Completed requirements are marked "Satisfied." If you do not complete in progress courses with a 2.0 or better, they will not fulfill the requirement.
- If a requirement is "satisfied," the requirement area will collapse and the requirement will display "satisfied." To view the courses used to complete the requirement click the
(sideways triangle).
When an area is displayed, the icon will display as a
(downward triangle).
(Note: The exception to this rule is the QM requirement. Since the course can count for both the QM and another requirement, the section will list the courses you took that count towards QM, but not close the section.)
- Requirements marked "Not Satisfied" have not been satisfied by the courses you have taken or are currently registered for. Courses taken CR/NC must have a grade of 2.0 or greater to satisfy the requirement.
- If a requirement is "not satisfied" a list of courses which will fulfill that requirement will display.
If you have questions
If you have questions about the Academic Requirements Report, please see the Registrar's Office in the Lower Level of Guild Hall. If you have questions about satisfying the college requirements, please see your Dean.
What does the Academic Requirements Report look like?

2) College Requirements
- Emily Balch Seminar
- Quantitative Readiness
- Quantitative and Mathmematical Reasoning
- Foreign Language
- Approaches to Inquiry: Critical Interpretation, Cross-Cultural Analysis, Inquiry into the Past, Scientific Investigation
3) Additional Courses: courses that count towards the total units and residency requirement, but do not fulfill college requirements (including transcript and test credits)
Icon Key
Green Circle with a Checkmark: means you have taken the course. A grade will be visible in the grade column. Only courses with a grade of 2.0 of higher will satisfy a college requirement.
Yellow Diamond: this is a course you have preregistered for or are in the process of taking. Once this course is graded and if you receive a 2.0 or higher, the icon will become the "taken" icon. If you do not pass the course with a 2.0 or higher, you will see the course listed in the Additional Courses area of the Academic Requirements Report.
Planned: If you have add the course to your academic planner, they will appear as completing a requirement and be given the "planned" icon. The use of the Academic Planner will be available later in the 2012-2013 academic year.
