Paper Checklist




 Log in to ISIS and under your "Registration" tab
find the link to "Degree Audit."
The Majors and Minors below require a paper checklist
(all others must use the online degree audit system)

 Create an audit.
 Review your audit. Is everything correct? 
 Make appointments early with your faculty
advisors for each major and minor with the
following exceptions:
 Political Science majors
meet with Ms. Blomme

International Studies majors
meet with Ms. Galan
 When meeting with your faculty advisor for
each major and minor, your advisor needs to log
into the degree audit program, not you. During
this meeting, make sure your advisor “shares”
the audit such that you can see it in
Communicator when you log in later. This is
how your advisor is “signing” your audit. This is
REQUIRED.
