How to Run a What-If Degree Audit

Degree Audit is a tool within Minnesota State Student Planner, providing a personalized listing of courses and requirements, marking them as already completed, planned, or still needed.

After logging into Minnesota State Student Planner, you will be on the Request an Audit page. If you have records at more than one school within Minnesota State, you will be prompted to first select the school for which you want to run an audit.

Run a "What-If" Audit

From the Request an Audit page:

  1. Choose Select a Different Program to create a "what-if" audit so you can see how your coursework would apply toward other programs.
