Program Evaluation The WebAdvisor Program Evaluation is an advising tool designed to assist you in planning for graduation. It matches the courses you have already taken and the courses you are currently enrolled in, to the degree or certificate requirements for your major. It is not an official evaluation, but an evolving review of the credits used to meet your degree or certificate requirements. Students should see a counselor if they have any questions about the information provided in the program evaluation. This evaluation may not include complete information regarding GPA, or other specific requirements appropriate to the degree or certificate you are seeking. Click on Program Evaluation to begin.
