CAPP Availability and General Information

Who can use the CAPP degree audit?

Only undergraduate degree-seeking students who first entered Truman in Fall 2004 or a later semester can use CAPP.  Access for graduate degree-seeking students who first entered Truman in Fall 2004 or later will be added later this semester.

Why is the system available only to students who entered Truman in Fall 2004?

Students who matriculated prior to this date, particularly students who attended prior to Summer 2003, do not have attributes and other critical information attached to their courses that CAPP needs to process a degree audit.  Therefore, any audit processed by students who earned credit in any semester prior to Fall 2004 would not contain accurate information about the requirements that you have already completed.

What are the "general requirements" and the "additional information" screens for?

These are screens that come with the system, and which show the courses that were used toward your audit and courses that were excluded from your audit.  Honestly, we don’t like them, and we strongly recommend that you use the “detail requirements” option to view your audit.  It will provide you with the best and most comprehensive analysis of your progress toward degree completion.

Placement of Courses

The degree audit placed one of my courses in two places. Is that okay?

In most cases, yes.  CAPP is programmed to recognize that some courses can “double fulfill” requirements, such as writing enhanced courses, intercultural courses, and some required support courses.  Be sure to look through requirements for your major in the General Catalog to make sure that this duplicate placement is appropriate.  If you have any questions, contact your academic advisor or the Registrar’s Office.

How does CAPP decide where to place courses that I've completed?

CAPP processes your courses chronologically, based on a “best fit” scenario.  It will look through each of your courses in the order you’ve completed them, and then it assigns each course to the first requirement in your degree program that the course will fulfill.
