FAQ Detail
Last semester, Degree Navigator told me that a requirement was complete, but now it’s showing that I need to complete a course I’m taking this semester. Why isn’t the requirement still showing as complete?
- FAQ Type: Advising, Core Curriculum, Requirements
- FAQ Response:
This is a common cause of confusion with Degree Navigator. Your requirement is probably complete. When a student takes more than one course that can apply to a given requirement, DN tries to choose the course that will give the student the best GPA and sometimes that means choosing a course in progress instead of a course that was already completed.
If you’re thinking of withdrawing from a course this semester and DN is telling you that the course is required to complete a requirement, but you think the requirement was completed in the past with a different Core Certified course, please reach out to an SAS Advisor. However, there’s no harm in taking multiple courses that satisfy the same requirement – most students do!
