  6. How do you read a degree audit? • All requirement are separated into categories for state auditing purposes. • As an individual item is completed, the minus(-) will change to a plus(+). • As each category is completed the NO will turn to an IP (in progress) and then to OK (all requirements fulfilled within that category). • You are aiming for all pluses (+) and OKs.

  7. Fingerprinting • Be advised that students may be required to complete a fingerprinting/background check prior to ANY field experience in any course; any costs related to this process(es) may be the responsibility of the student.
