Academic Advisement Reports

About Academic Advising Reports (AAR)

Academic Advising Report (AAR) makes it easy for you as students and your advisors to see whether you are on track to complete your degree, program, and requirements. The AAR shows how your classes apply to your academic program plan, and you can run a What-If report to see how they apply to a different program plan.

The Academic Advisement Reports (AAR) are for planning only. 

The Registration/Records office conducts the final graduation evaluation and official evaluations are communicated through the “Notes” tab in the Academic Progress tile in ctcLink. 

Remember to consult with an academic advisor and the college academic catalog when planning your courses.

How to run an Academic Advisement Report

Note: Academic Advisement Reports (AAR) and What-If Reports have replaced the Degree Audit. Both reports are located in ctcLink.

Program Plan Changes

If your program plan is incorrect, use the Program of Study Update Request Form (Google Form) to request a change.

What if I am Thinking of Changing My Degree?

Run a What-If Report

You may be thinking of changing your program of study and wonder how that change would affect your progress. You can use this component to set up and request a simulated or "what-if" advisement report based on alternate programs of study.
