Enrollment Need Categories Overview

These are “Need” categories that are listed on a student’s audit. Reviewing these categories each semester will prevent deficiencies from becoming stumbling blocks to graduation.

You can find most of this information under the heading “Summary of Hours and Grade Points” below the current enrollment class schedule at the top of the audit. If any of these categories do not appear on the audit, then the student has met all the requirements for that “Need.”
