"What-If" Electronic Degree Audit

The "What-If" Degree Progress function allows students to see how their classes may fulfill the degree requirements of other majors and minors at the university, without having to actually change their current declared program of study.
Steps:

  1. Select an alternate program (school), plan (major), and/or subplan (concentration) along with the catalog edition.
  2. CAESAR will generate a simulated Degree Progress report for your academic record, as if your declared program had been changed to the values that you selected.

Important Items to Note:

  • This will NOT permanently affect your real academic record, but will generate a report as if this were your declared academic information.
  • This report should be used for advising purposes only and is not an irrevocable contract with Northwestern University.
  • Your degree auditor in conjunction with your department will determine the official status of your degree requirements and degree certification. Northwestern University reserves the right to change, without notice, any statement in this report concerning, but not limited to rules, policies, curricula, and courses.
