Overview

View and Run a What-If Report

This topic will give you a basic understanding of how to run a What-If Report in the Academic Progress tile.

First we will describe what a "What-If Report" is. Below is the description that is provided on the What-If page.

You may be thinking of changing your program of study and wonder how that change would affect your progress. You can use this component to set up and request a simulated or "what-if" advisement report based on alternate programs of study.

Now we will go over how you will run and view a What-If report.

Select the Academic Progress tile to display the Academic Progress Summary page and list of categories is displayed on the left-hand side.

You will select the View What-If Report category on the left-hand navigation to display the What-If Report Selection page.

Select the Create New Report button to display the Create What-If Scenario page.

Enter the desired information into:

1. Institution
2. Career
3. Catalog Year
4. Academic Program
5. Area of Study
6. Concentration: This will default to n/a

Scroll to the bottom of the page and select the Submit Request link to display the What-If Report.

Select the View Report as PDF button. The PDF will be in the downloads section of your browser, or will pop up in a new tab, or will pop up as a file to open.

You can return to the What-If Report page, by selecting the What-If Report at the top left-hand corner of the screen.
