This view is the HTML Version of the What-If AAR.
Similar to the regular AAR, requirements are grouped together. They are called Academic Requirement Groups. Academic Requirement Groups will be marked with NOT SATISFIED or SATISFIED.
CAUTION: SATISFIED 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.
1. To see how all the satisfied Requirement Groups were projected to be fulfilled with a course scenario the student entered, click on View PDF. Although a requirement group will be fulfilled by a What-If course, it doesn't indicate the course is a What-If course as clearly as the PDF, which will display What-If courses with the course type "WH".
2. In this example, the Group is not satisfied, because Requirements within the Group are not satisfied. Each Requirement Group may contain one or more Requirements. In this case, the Requirement Group, has three Requirements, one of which is satisfied, and two are not.
3. If there is an arrow by a Group or Requirement, you may continue to drill down for additional details.
  
  CAUTION: This is an example of an "in progress" course fulfilling a requirement. If you drop this course, the requirement will again become NOT SATISFIED. What-If courses can also satisfy requirements. There is no way to tell on the HTML version that the course is a "what-if" course. It is recommended to instead run the PDF version of the "what-if" AAR to look for "what-if" courses. See the links below to see how to run the PDF "what-if".
  
  Use the bread crumbs at the top of the page to return to previous screens.Click or select the "..." to see additional details.
Scroll down the report and see the Requirement Groups that are not yet satisfied.The report will provide details on how to fulfill the Requirements and/or Requirement Group. Requirements are made of Requirement lines. The symbol at the requirement line for not satisfied, is slightly different.
Click "View Courses" to see what courses are either fulfilling the requirement or may fulfill it. If there are available section of a course a "View Sections" button will appear. Click on it to see the available sections.
The goal is to have all the University Requirements, General Education, Major/Minor/Emphasis groups marked as "Satisfied" by courses that have been completed. Be sure to not include courses that are either planned, course scenarios, or courses that are still in progress.
