A red blank square means the requirements for that area have not been fulfilled. The requirements for each area are then displayed separately. The course code and number that fulfilled the requirement, along with the grade, credit hours, and term the course was taken will be displayed.

These include CPC courses, legislative requirements, learning support requirements, and overlay requirements when applicable.
