Enrollment Resources

Overview of Your Advising Tools:

• Academic Requirements Report (ARR)

  The ARR tracks all graduation requirements by indicating which are met, in progress, and needed. It is updated immediately upon changing major/minors, enrollment activity (including adding, dropping courses), posting of grades, and transfer credit. It is important to monitor the ARR regularly, as it is an official graduation evaluation.

• Using Your Degree Planner to Edit Preferences

  Early each semester, tell us how many units you plan to take in the following semester by updating your Degree Planner. This helps the University prepare for your course needs: How To Edit Preferences in Degree Planner (PDF)

• Using Your Degree Planner and Schedule Assistant to Enroll

  Your Degree Planner is an interactive online tool you will use for course planning throughout your time at CSUSM. Requirements for your major, minor (if applicable), and general education are displayed in a recommended sequence using information from your student record. It even recognizes the courses you've already taken at CSUSM, test credit, transfer credit, course substitutions, and prerequisites to recommend an education plan designed just for you! Your Degree Planner can be accessed in your Student Center in myCSUSM. Degree Planner Features (PDF).

  The Schedule Assistant is an electronic tool that helps undergraduate students find open classes that are offered on days/times when they can attend school. Schedule Assistant Features (PDF)
