How to Use the Web Audit
The web audit allows you to view your academic progress toward meeting requirements for UMSL degree programs, minors, or certificates. The audit uses the coursework you have taken at UMSL as well as any transfer work from other institutions and applies those courses to a particular degree program/minor/certificate to give you an audit showing what requirements have been satisfied as well as those requirements still needed. GPA calculations are included.COURSES
Clicking on the Courses button will give you a chronological listing
of all courses that you have taken at UMSL and any transfer work
for which an official transcript has been received. It will also
show exam scores such as ACT and SAT. Prior degrees from an outside
institution such as an AA or AAS will also be in the list.
AUDITS
Use this button to generate an audit for any degree program/minor/certificate.

From the Deg. Prog. drop down menu, choose the degree program/minor/certificate that you are interested in viewing.

Click Submit a New Audit button.
Click Audits at top of the page again. Click Refresh List.
When the audit is available, click Details button.
(At this point, you may click on the Increase Font or Decrease Font, if you need to adjust the size of the print.)
Scroll down through the audit to view the requirements. The first section is a summary of all Complete (OK) and Incomplete (NO) requirements. After the summary section, a full audit follows.
In a requirement where there is a “Select From” line, you can click on the course number. This will take you to the course description and prerequisite information from the UMSL bulletin. From this page, click on the “schedule of courses” in the top left corner to go to on-line course schedule. Choose a future semester and a department from the list on the left side of the page. This will bring up a display of all the sections of the courses offered in that department with the times, room location, and instructor.
To go back to the audit, use the back arrow at the top of the page.
WHAT-IF (Planned) COURSES
This feature allows you to create “what-if”/ planned
courses and expected grade to see what effect it would have on your
degree program completion.
Click Planned–Courses
Click Add Planned Course
Use the drop down menu to select the future semester, the department (curriculum), of the course you want to take. Choose the course itself from the drop down menu, and select the expected grade.
Click Save Add
You may add more courses or use the View Planned Courses to view the course/s you have created.
When you have finished creating each course you want to use, click Audits at the top of the page. Click Request New Audit.
Follow the instructions above for Audits, except check the box that says Include Planned Courses before you click Submit a new audit.
When the new audit appears, click on Details. As you, scroll down through the audit you will see the what-if (planned) courses displayed in the requirement areas where they will be used. In addition, the new GPA calculations will reflect the what-if grades of the courses.
NOTE: On the audits page, you may retain any of the audits that you have generated for later viewing or you may check the Delete Audit box when you no longer wish to view that particular program audit. (Audits will all be deleted periodically by the system.) The audits that are stored do not change. If you have a change to your student record such as at the end of the semester when grades are posted or when you register for a future semester, you will have to generate a new audit to see the results of those changes. Changes to a student record are reflected on the audit the following day.
