This section contains examples of the Advising Report/Degree Audit for anonymous, undergraduate, University of Dayton psychology majors. The following example is for the Pre-1997 Bachelor of Arts (B.A.-PSY) degree in Psychology.  Examples of the Post-1997 Liberal Studies B.A. and the Bachelor of Science (B.S.-PSS) degree in Psychology can be found by going back to the Table of Contents and using Adobe Acrobat. The computer-generated reports identify all requirements of the University (General Education and Basic Skills), the College of Arts and Sciences (Breadth requirements and electives) and the Psychology Department (major requirements) applicable at the time the students entered the University. The Reports are different for the programs reflecting the distinct University and College requirements for each degree (B.A. or B.S.). The Psychology requirements are the same for both programs.

New psychology major requirements also took effect in Fall, 1997 and govern all students who entered the University and declared psychology after that time. These requirements are also the same for the Liberal Studies B.A. Program and the B.S. program. Please check here for the changes in grade requirements for the psychology major beginning Fall, 1997.

The Advising Report presents a summary of a student's academic progress in meeting the requirements for either degree. The Report should be picked up each semester from the Psychology Department prior to registration. A Report can also be generated for students desiring to switch majors allowing students to see what they might need to meet the requirements of a new major. The examples presented demonstrate what a Report looks like and are employed here to give an overview of B.A. and B.S. degree requirements and how to read an Advising Report.

At the top of the Report is a Comments section which explains the use of the letters which are seen down the left hand sides of the Reports. In the following  illustrations, most of the letters are C, which indicates that the specific requirements have been completed by the students whose Reports are used as examples. The P is used to indicate that a requirement is pending and will be met after the student completes a course that he/she is currently registered for, *R*. The I is used to indicate that a requirement is In Progress but will not be completed with the courses that the student has registered for in the current semester. The N is used to denote that a requirement has not been started. A W is sometimes used to show that a particular requirement has been Waived.

The next section of the Report shows the student's Required status regarding any transfer credits, credits completed at UD, current overall grade point average, and number of credits registered for in the current term. This is to be compared to the Achieved section regarding the same issues. If the requirements have been met, the OK column will demonstrate this with a Yes, and if requirements have not yet been met, a No will be found there.

The main body of the Report presents the requirements to be completed for the appropriate degree. These requirements are fully explained in the University of Dayton Bulletin and are summarized in Advising Reports under different sections. Numbers are used to indicate these sections with the numbers 1-7 denoting General Education requirements, including the Humanities Base, Basic Skills, Historical Study, Physical and Life Sciences, Social Sciences, Arts Study, and Philosophy and Religious Studies. Numbers 8-11 are used to present the Breadth Requirements of the College including those for Natural Science, Humanities, and Social and Behavioral Science. The Psychology Major requirements are disclosed in number 12 while number 13 reflects the required General Electives. For the B.A. program only, number 14 reflects that 54 hours of the120 required for graduation must be at the 300/400 level. (The new Liberal Studies Program requires 124 hours to graduate and only 48 hours at the upper level). Under each of the separate sections are listed the general requirements and any courses taken to satisfy those requirements. This information is provided in the following format: the year and semester the course was taken; the course number; the number of credits for the course; the grade received or *R* if it is currently being taken; and the course title. The grades reported in sections1-14 can be A, B, C, D, S (satisfactory), EM (credit by examination), K (transfer credit), or P (in progress, for a course not terminated at the end of the term.)

Under the last section, entitled Activity Not Applied to the Above Requirements, is found all classes in which the following grades have been received: F, NC (no credit), W (withdrawn), or X (audit). Also found here are courses for which no credit is granted and those courses which exceed the University requirements. It is rare that a grade of I will appear in the Advising Report as courses in which this grade has been received must be completed within 30 days from the date listed on the grade report, or the grade will automatically be changed to an F or NC on the student's permanent record. Additionally in the last section of the Advising Report, is a caveat that the Advising Report is intended to assist the student and the advisor, and that all efforts have been made to ensure its accuracy. However, it is still the student's responsibility for meeting degree requirements as stated in the University of Dayton Bulletin. It is thus very important that the student, each semester, verify the accuracy of the Advising Report and refer any inaccuracies/discrepancies to his/her advisor and the Director of Undergraduate Programs.

This report has been prepared to assist students during their stay at the University of Dayton. While every effort has been made to ensure its accuracy, students have the final responsibility for meeting degree requirements as stated in the UD Bulletin.

This report includes only those credit hours and courses accepted by the student's Dean as counting toward the student's degree.

For computation of honors GPA, other information not shown on this report may apply. Consult with the Dean.

Grades in this report are as of the date of printing. Grades are subject to change for 30 days after the INITIAL grade reports.

A minimum of 124 semester hours of approved coursework must be presented for the B.A. At least 48 semester hours must be completed at the 300-400 level. For limitations on credit and restrictions on courses, consult the chairperson and the dean. No more than 45 hours of the minimum 124 hours may be completed in a student's major discipline.

In the first semester, students take a course that introduces them to the University and to their major field of study (ASI 150).
