Degree evaluations within Banner enable advisors and students to generate electronic compliance reports similar to the Plan of Study. These unofficial reports apply a student's credit against the requirements for a selected degree program. Advisors can choose to run a compliance for the student's chosen major or another selected degree/major. A 'What-if Analysis' allows a student to apply his or her coursework to a different major to show a progress towards that different degree or major.

To generate a Degree Evaluation, login to Banner and select Faculty & Advisor Menu. Click on the Advisor Menu and then Degree Evaluation. From the drop down box, select the current term and submit. Select the student by submitting his or her student id number or by submitting his or her name. From the links at the bottom, select the type of evaluation. Follow the on-line directions and submit the request.

General Requirements display a concise view of the evaluation. Core Curriculum areas are considered 'met' or 'not met' based on requirements defined in the Undergraduate Bulletin.

Detail Requirements display each of the rules that define the Core areas. Each requirement or rule is considered 'met' or 'not met' as well as the Core area.

Additional Requirements highlight non-course requirements (Departmental exams, Regent's Test, Legislative Requirements, etc.), courses not used in the evaluation and any restricted grades.

The Registrar's Office does not consider this on-line evaluation to take the place of the Plan of Study. This Degree Evaluation tool is a resource to aide the advisement process. Please submit errors or questions to the Registrar's Office.
