Elective Classes NOT Allowed (This section impacts Financial Aid)

This section is very important in DegreeWorks because it impacts financial aid and therefore the TAP award. The courses in this category are not required toward the degree, according to the curriculum of record, and will therefore trigger a course ineligibility flag in the Financial Aid Certification & Tracking System (FACTS) for financial aid.

NOTE: Each semester please ensure that the course(s) "In-progress" do not fall into this section. If any course(s) a student is currently enrolled in falls into the "Elective Classes Not Allowed" section of the audit, you must contact a DegreeWorks liaison within your school or division in order to reconcile.
