myAudit: Reading your Audit
It is important that you become familiar with your audit and review it on a regular basis. We encourage you to review your audit after every registration period to ensure that you are on track for graduation! The Academic Advising Centre has a ‘How to read your audit’ webpage that includes a ‘myAudit: Introduction’ video tutorial.

myAudit: Working with Planned Courses and What-If Audits
The online video tutorials will guide you through the process of running an audit with Planned Courses and/or a What-If audit for program changes. This tool allows you to see how Planned Courses would affect your academic requirements in your current or a potential new program.

ASR: Academic Status Report
The Academic Status Report (ASR) is a companion tool for the academic audit that displays real-time information regarding your degree program status in a user-friendly format. The ASR is designed to highlight common University graduation requirements and identify potential barriers or areas of concern.
