What-If Report

A What-If Report is a simulated version of the Academic Advisement Report (AAR).

There are two types of What-If Reports:

  • The first is a Program Scenario that allows students to view how their coursework would apply to a different major or minor. 
  • The second report is the Course Scenario, which allows students to view how courses that they have not yet taken may apply toward their current major or minor.

Running a What-If Report does not change the student’s major in HUB.
