Degree evaluation form descriptions will appear here when you click on the
notes below (e.g. 
).
- Last name is listed first.[jump to the top of this page]
- This is a default designation; date listed is eight semesters after
entrance as a degree candidate.[jump to the top of this page]
- Declared major and degree.[jump to the top of this page]
- The year the student entered the University as a degree candidate.[jump to the top of this page]
- The Four-Year-Plan is a contract between the student and the University.Click
here for more information on the plan itself. Faculty and professional advisors
should check with their department for specific departmental checkpoint information.[jump to the top of this page]
- High school and ACT information is not displayed after three enrollments.
If present, this information can be used to guide course selection.[jump to the top of this page]
- Click
here for the list of minimum high school unit requirements for CLAS students.[jump to the top of this page]
- UI placement test results indicate appropriate first enrollment courses
for students who plan to continue math and/or foreign language courses. It
is not mandatory that students follow placement recommendations though typically
students perform best when they follow these recommendations. Students may
be offered a selection of courses and would choose the math course or sequence
best suited for their major.[jump to the top of this page]
- Algebra does not carry credit toward graduation but the grade is
computed as part of the GPA.[jump to the top of this page]
- Student took an Advanced Placement Program (APP) test in Spanish
Language but he did not earn credit. Click
here for the APP/CLEP tests and placement guidelines.[jump to the top of this page]
- Statement appears until student meets all graduation requirements
(major, college, GPA, residency, hours).[jump to the top of this page]
- Current registration is considered "In Progress" (IP) and
is not computed as hours earned.[jump to the top of this page]
- All graded coursework (including UI and transfer coursework) is used
in this calculation.[jump to the top of this page]
- No transfer coursework is included in this calculation.[jump to the top of this page]
- This is a collegiate, not University, requirement. It is important
to monitor this requirement for students who transfer into CLAS from other
colleges (UI and elsewhere).[jump to the top of this page]
- This is a University requirement; students must complete just one
of these options to meet the residence requirement. (This designation does
not affect classification for tuition purposes.)[jump to the top of this page]
- Option 1 - This option is most commonly completed by students who
begin at the UI and do most of their coursework here.[jump to the top of this page]
- Options 2 & 3 - Typically transfer students complete option #2
or #3. Currently enrolled students who transferred in a great deal of credit
should monitor this requirement closely and exercise caution in transferring
additional credit.[jump to the top of this page]
- Students who have already transferred in 60 sh can still satisfy
a General Education Program (GEP) or major requirement by transferring in
courses from a community college. Coursework would fulfill the requirement
and the grade would be calculated in the GPA, but the hours would not count
as hours toward graduation.[jump to the top of this page]
- Specific rules only appear if triggered by a student's record. For
a complete list of all the rules, click here.[jump to the top of this page]
- 2) Monitors number of hours of courses student has taken Satisfactory/Fail.
Here, the student passed Online@Iowa and may apply up to 14.0 sh of additional
S (Satisfactory) credit toward graduation.[jump to the top of this page]
- 5) Monitors number of hours and course application of examination
credit. The
Foreign Language Incentive Program rules are here and
the
Office of Admissions information on credit by exam is here.[jump to the top of this page]
- 11) Encourage students to check their current registration carefully.
Electronic degree evaluations on ISIS are updated weekly and should reflect
current registration.[jump to the top of this page]
- Classes are filled into category areas as they are taken by the student.
If a student takes a class or has AP/CLEP credit that could fall in one of
two different GE categories (though it will only be applied to one), the course
or exam credit may be moved to the other category by calling Graduation Analysis
in the Office of the Registrar.[jump to the top of this page]
- Click

requirement.[jump to the top of this page]
- The student has completed GE requirement in this area through high
school work (see high school unit section, if present on the degree evaluation,
for specifics).[jump to the top of this page]

- Click
on the link to go to the CLAS Student Handbook page that explains the Natural
Science requirement.[jump to the top of this page]
- Students must complete the hours and lab requirements-they need a
laboratory and non-laboratory class that totals 7.0 sh (more than 7.0 sh is
okay). Occasionally, students take a lab class that is 3.0 sh and expect the
category to be met after taking a 3.0 non-lab course. A student in this situation
still needs to complete at least 1.0 sh of General Education Natural Science.[jump to the top of this page]
- The student needs a non-lab Natural Science. The "select from" list
isn't complete because there are too many classes to include. Instead use
ISIS to look at different Natural Science options. Students should read Natural
Science course descriptions carefully. Some classes are intended for science
majors.[jump to the top of this page]
- Click
on the link to go to the CLAS Student Handbook page that explains the Quantitative
or Formal Reasoning requirement.[jump to the top of this page]
- The student is currently registered for Statistics and Society.
This student has a variety of options for his QFR and Natural Science requirements
because he is a Communications Studies major-students in your major may have
very specific math or natural science courses they should be taking.[jump to the top of this page]

Sciences requirement.[jump to the top of this page]

Problems.[jump to the top of this page]

a 3.0 sh Social Science class. He needs to earn 3.0 in another area (not Social
Science). For example, he could take a class that counts in the Foreign Civilization
and Culture category, or he could take another Historical Perspectives class,
or even three 1.0 sh of Health and Physical Activity classes.[jump to the top of this page]

- This is a collegiate requirement to encourage breadth of study. Students
pursuing the Bachelor of Fine Arts in Art or Dance, and the Bachelor of Music
degrees are allowed additional hours beyond the 50 semester hour limit. If
you advise in these areas, contact your department chair or advising coordinator
for further information. Some
select departments or degrees are exempt from this rule.[jump
to the top of this page]
- This section outlines the major requirements. Exceptions and substitutions
are approved at the departmental level and reported to Graduation Analysis.[jump to the top of this page]
- This student has only taken one class in their major area at this
time. Once he completes this class (and other major classes), his overall
major GPA will be indicated in # 9 and his UI major GPA will be indicated in
#10. Students must be in good standing in his major (2.0 and above) to graduate.[jump
to the top of this page]
- These courses are not in the major pool or in the General Education
pool but are elective courses. Note that the student has three 100-level courses
in Spanish. If he decides to declare a Spanish major, these courses would
be applied to that major (and would not be in the elective pool but in the
major requirement area on that degree evaluation).[jump to the top of this page]
- Students are responsible for monitoring their own progress to graduation.[jump to the top of this page]
- Once a student applies for graduation, the Office of the Registrar
runs the final degree analysis. Students should be encouraged to apply for
graduation as early as possible in the semester in which they plan to graduate.[jump to the top of this page]
- Satisfactory completion is D- and above. All courses taken to remove
high school unit deficiencies are used in calculation of a student's GPA.[jump to the top of this page]
