A printable (PDF) version of this documentation is also available: Your Online Degree Audit.  

On the Audit Results tab, below the graphs, is the audit itself. See the Online Degree Audit (HTML) and Printable Degree Audit (PDF) sections below for more information about each audit format. The content is the same for both formats, but the way it is displayed is different.  

For instructions for running or viewing an audit, go to the How to Run a Degree Audit page.  

Online Degree Audit (HTML) 

On the Audit Results tab, below the graphs, each requirement for the program is listed. For more information about any requirement, you can expand the requirement section. You can expand or close a section by clicking on the arrow to the left of the section. You can expand or close every section at the same time by clicking “Open All Sections” or “Close All Sections” below the graphs.  

Open All Sections and Close All Sections buttons.

You can also click the "?" icon, Help for audit results icon next to “Open All Sections” and “Close All Sections” to see the legends for requirements and sub-requirements, as well as course codes and special grades.  

Interpreting Audit Results window.

The legend at the bottom of the online degree audit, below the program requirement sections, indicates the different icons used to show the status of each requirement.

Audit legend showing icons for the different requirement statuses: Complete (green box with checkmark), Planned (purple box with calendar), In Progress (blue box with “…”), and Unfulfilled (red box with “X”).

You can click the “Printer Friendly” link on the right side of the page below the graphs to open a more printer friendly version of your online degree audit. This printer friendly view is different from the PDF format you can choose to run your audit in. This version preserves the formatting of the online audit, including requirement status icons, and the functionality to expand or close each requirement section. However, it will not include the graphs at the top of the Audit Results tab or the details on the Course History tab.

Printable Degree Audit (PDF)

While the interactive online degree audit can be particularly useful, a printable version of your degree audit may be better in some cases. 

Like with the online degree audit (HTML), the printable degree audit (PDF) starts with information about the audit and the Audit Results and Course History tabs. However, below the graphs on the Audit Results tab, instead of expandable sections for the program requirements, you’ll see the audit in a PDF viewer.

Requirements and Sub-requirements

On the HTML audit, by default only the title information for each requirement is displayed. You’ll need to expand the requirement section to see more information and any sub-requirements. Because the PDF audit is not interactive, all the information for each requirement is already displayed.  

Status Icons

The requirement status is noted to the left of each requirement:

Format HTML Audit PDF Audit
Complete Requirement Green box with white checkmark icon showing requirement is complete on HTML audit. Green box with white checkmark

Green "OK" showing requirement is complete on PDF audit.Green "OK"
In Progress Requirement Blue box with 3 white dots in horizontal line icon showing requirement is in progress on HTML audit. Blue box with 3 white dots in horizontal line

Blue "IP" showing requirement is in progress on PDF audit.Blue "IP"
Unfulfilled Requirement Red box with white “x” icon showing requirement is unfulfilled on HTML audit. Red box with white “x”

Red "NO" showing requirement is unfulfilled on PDF audit.Red "No"

On the HTML audit, sub-requirements use the same icons as requirements. However, on the PDF audit, sub-requirement statuses use different icons:  

  • Complete sub-requirements have a “+”.  
  • Unfulfilled and In Progress sub-requirements will have a “-”.  

The first few requirements will be text only, providing important information about your audit. These text requirements are explained below.

Text Requirements

The first few requirements will be text only, providing important information about your audit. These text requirements are explained below. 

The text “*** AT LEAST ONE REQUIREMENT IS NOT YET SATISFIED ***” will be displayed below the graphs if any requirement is not complete. 

Text requirement indicating at least one requirement has not been fulfilled yet.

The first requirement section notifies you when the catalog will expire, based on the catalog year. All requirements of the chosen catalog must be met within eight years of that catalog’s publication.

Text requirement indicating that the catalog remains valid through August 2030, and that you should contact your advisor immediately to discuss your catalog options if you do not expect to complete the program requirements by then.

The second requirement section shows whether your advisor has evaluated your degree audit. If the audit has been evaluated, the requirement will say, “ADVISING FLAG SET.” If you are viewing a “what if” audit, or an audit for a different program, then the advising requirement should always indicate that your audit has not been evaluated and is not official.

Text requirement indicating that credit evaluation has been completed by an advisor as of 10/10/22, any transfer work completed after that date should be reviewed by your advisor, and you should contact your advisor if you have questions about credit application. Text requirement indicating that the advising process is not complete, your advisor has not indicated your academic record has been fully evaluated, and your audit should not be considered official until you receive a copy without this message.

If you have earned 90 or more credit hours, your audit will show an additional requirement, “SENIORS: GRADUATION/ADVISING NOTICE.” This requirement is informational only. It is intended to help students who may be close to graduation by reminding them to contact their advisor and ensure they are on track to graduate.

Text requirement indicating at least 90 hours have been earned, you should contact your advisor as you approach your final semester to ensure you are on track to graduate, and you must submit a graduation application by the deadline during the semester you intend to graduate.

Details of a Complete Requirement

Expanding a complete requirement will show the earned hours, or the number of hours applied to that requirement, and a table of the courses that were used to fulfill the requirement. The table will show the following information:

  • Year and term the course was taken
    • The two numbers before the decimal point are the last two digits of the year, and the number after the decimal point represents the term:
      • Spring: 1
      • Summer: 3 to 6 (The specific number used may vary based on which summer session the course was taken in.)
      • Fall: 8
      • Wintermester: 12 (While wintermester at UNT is considered part of the Spring term, your audit may indicate wintermester courses separately.)
    • Subject and course number
    • Number of credit hours of the course
    • Grade earned
    • Title of the course

Additional information may be displayed below a course, such as if the course was transferred to UNT or the course number changed since the course was taken.

Complete Communication UNT core requirement, expanded to show earned hours and courses used to fulfill the requirement.

Details of an In-Progress Requirement

Requirements will show as In Progress (“IP”) when you are currently registered for a course that is expected to fulfill the requirement.

In Progress sub-requirement that requires two courses, showing one course completed and a second course in progress.

Note: In some cases, a certain grade may be required for a course to fulfill a requirement. For example, a grade of ‘C’ or better may be required. When in progress courses are displayed, the degree audit assumes that the required grade will be earned.

Details of an Unfulfilled Requirement

Any unfulfilled requirements will indicate what is needed to complete the requirement, such as a certain number of courses. Unfulfilled requirements will also provide a list of courses that can be used to fulfill that requirement. You can click on a course number in the “SELECT FROM” list to see a description of that course.

Unfulfilled Communication UNT core requirement, expanded to show both sub-requirements.

Partially fulfilled requirements will show both what has been used to fulfill part of the requirement, and what else is needed. If even one part of the requirement is incomplete, the requirement status will be unfulfilled. In the example below, the “SENIOR DRAWING & PAINTING STUDIO” sub-requirement is unfulfilled. One course worth 3 hours is in progress. However, since 6 hours are required and only 3 hours have been added, the sub-requirement is unfulfilled.

Partially fulfilled sub-requirement showing one course in progress, and one course is needed.

Asterisks (*) in course numbers indicate that any number can be used in place of the *. For example, if a requirement states that you must complete any 4000-level art course, the “SELECT FROM” list may show only ART 4*** instead of showing every single 4000-level art course offered at UNT. Any course number that starts with “ART 4” could be used to fulfill that requirement.

Unfulfilled requirement with a SELECT FROM list that includes course options with asterisks in the numbers.

Other Requirements

Some requirements don’t require specific courses at all. Instead, a certain GPA or a certain number of courses taken at UNT may be required. Other requirements may just be text to provide you with important information about the program and your audit, like the text requirements at the beginning of your audit. Remember, you can expand a requirement section for additional details.

In the example below, the “UNIVERSITY REQTS FOR DEGREE -- ADVANCED HOURS (UNT)” requirement doesn’t need any specific courses. Instead, it requires 24 advanced credit hours earned in residence at UNT. The requirement is In Progress because the student is currently taking courses that will help fulfill this requirement.

In Progress requirement that requires 24 advanced hours must be earned in residence at UNT, showing 4 hours added and 12 hours in progress.

Note: Courses earned in residence at UNT are courses that you took and passed at UNT.
