General Flow Chart Guidelines
Flow charts are not an official list of degree requirements. Adjustments may be required
due to curriculum changes. Please see degree audit for official list of requirements.
Choose correct courses each semester. Run and review your online Degree Audit each
time you add, drop or switch courses and before each semester begins. Lists of electives and required courses are included in your
online degree audit report. It is the student's responsibility to choose correct courses.
