Hello all,
On Monday there will be a change to Degree Works. Right now, it is set up so that In
Progress (IP) courses have priority over courses that are completed. We will change it so
that completed courses will take priority.
What does this mean?
Let's bring in the visual aids!
Here is a student's Free Electives block when IP has priority:

Same student and same block, but completed courses have priority:

Right now DW will try and plug an IP course in a spot even though the student may already
have something to satisfy that requirement.
We have compared what both priorities look like for many students to try and find the
good/bad/ugly between both settings. We have discussed this with advisors, directors and
the AAC. So far, all the feedback we have received is positive towards making the change
so that completed courses have priority.
If you have any questions or concerns about this, please let me know by emailing me at
Amanda.Garcia@utsa.edu<mailto:Amanda.Garcia@utsa.edu> rather than replying to this
email.
I hope your Friday is off to a good start!
