11. This view is the HTML Version of the student's What-If AAR. Click View PDF to see the PDF version of the What-If AAR. This may take several seconds. If your report does not come up, be sure to check your pop-up blocker.
12. This view is the PDF Version. The top of the PDF will be titled "Student Self Service What-If Report" and directly beneath, "Career Simulation Report - CAUTION: INCLUDES WHAT-IF COURSES", as to not be confused with the regular AAR or the Planner AAR. What this means is the What-If AAR includes courses that you entered as a Course Scenario and also courses in progress, so if you never enroll in the What-If course, or if drop or fail an in progress course, a Requirement Group may no longer be fulfilled, so it's important to check your regular AAR every term.
When you open the PDF version, you see requirements are grouped together. They are called Academic Requirement Groups. Academic Requirement Groups that to not have a red asterisks to the left and has "Satisfied" in black, bold print, are completed.
Academic Requirement Groups that are not complete are noted in red. Look for a bold, red asterisk * to the left and also Not Satisfied
13. Each Requirement Group may contain one or more Requirement, which are indented below the Group. The requirements turn Satisfied as they are fulfilled, but the * will not go away on the Requirement Group until all of the Requirements under that Group are Satisfied.
14. The Requirement Group or Requirement will contain details below on how to fulfill it. As you begin to fulfill the requirement, courses you took will appear and the details will reflect how much closer you are to fulfilling the requirement. (Term taken and Grades earned will appear as well.) Your goal is to have no red on your AAR. Type refers to how the course was taken, including EN (Enrolled at UW-Platteville), TR (Transfer), TE (Test) or WH (What-If).
Remember: A requirement group will look Satisfied on the What If AAR if projected to be fulfilled with in progress and what-if courses. Look at the chart below the requirement to see what is fulfilling it. For What-If courses, the type will be "WH".
NOTE: To see how all of your collapsed Requirement Groups were fulfilled once completely Satisfied, you must look at the HTML version. See below for a link to that KB.
15. The course history will be listed at the end of the What-If AAR. This will contain all transfer, test out, in-progress courses, and even the What-If courses. It also notes any repeats taken or being taken.
If you have any questions about the What-If AAR, contact the Registrar's Office at registrar@uwplatt.edu or 608-342-1321.
