Requirements Sidebar
The Requirements sidebar provides a user with a number of different requirement options.
- Choice – A choice requirement is used when a student can choose from multiple courses (ex. this course OR that course). A choice requirement is also used when a course must be paired with another course (ex. this course AND that course). Finally, a choice requirement is used to indicate a free elective (@ @) or another course with a “wildcard” symbol (@)
How to Add a Choice from the Requirements Sidebar - Course – A course requirement is used to add one specific course to a plan.
How to Add a Course from the Requirements Sidebar - GPA – Minimum overall (Degree Works or Banner), major, and class list GPAs required for a degree program can be planned for on a plan with the GPA requirement.
How to Add a GPA from the Requirements Sidebar - Non-Course – Non-course requirements help students plan for items other than coursework that need to be completed for their program such as recitals, portfolio’s or Comp Exams.
If you would like to request a non course be added, please email degwrks@ecu.edu.
How to Add a Non-Course Requirement from the Requirements Sidebar - Placeholder – Placeholder requirements are intended to be informational only and used to communicate a task the student needs to complete. Typically, these are used to hold the place of a requirement that has not yet been selected, or to provide information and directions, such as registration pins or applying to graduate.
If you would like to request a placeholder be added, please email degwrks@ecu.edu.
How to Add a Placeholder from the Requirements Sidebar - Test-Score – This is for situations where there is an exam requirement housed outside of a course that must be completed as part of a program requirement.
