Note: The report will also list courses taken within the program, but not used to meet the program requirements (i.e. failed courses, withdrawals, repeat courses). In addition, courses taken by the student that fulfill program requirements that extend beyond 5 years will be identified. It is important to recognize that although the courses identified here will satisfy the student’s program requirements, they may not satisfy the graduation requirements. Approval may be necessary to allow these courses to be used for graduation purposes.
