If there is a requirement that you believe has been met but the system is not displaying as “matched” (e.g. approved course exemption, approved transfer credit, approved course substitution, course electives, comprehensive exams, etc.), you can “Mark as Met”. To “Mark as Met”, click the three lines to the left of the degree requirement and select “Mark as Met”. Before marking something as met, please confirm with your Academic Coordinator that the requirement has been fulfilled.
