*Students cannot apply for official graduation without an approved initial iPOS (course change requests should not prevent students from applying). Therefor, if your initial iPOS is not approved by your final semester, you may be charged a late graduation application fee.

Can I change my iPOS after it is submitted and approved?
Yes! You may update your iPOS as many times as needed by submitting a course change. We recommend you review your iPOS once per semester and update it to align with your course registration. The course change will be approved as long as the degree requirements are still met. Remember that you should always be adding and removing an equivalent number of credits.
I am trying to submit course changes but do not see the right semester in the term choices?
Courses in the current semester, or that you are registered for in the next semester, must be added "from transcript" not as "future course". That means that if you have a course listed already for a future course, you will not see the current semester in the term dropdown if you want to change one to the on-going semester.
You will need to "remove" the current listing and re-add the class for the term you have enrolled, using the "from transcript" option for electives, or by selecting the enrolled section for core or concentration requirements in the add menu.
I get a notification when adding a course to my electives that it "meets a Core/Concentration/Area requirement". Does this mean I can't add it as an elective?
Courses from any of the core/concentration/area lists can be used toward electives, as long as they are not being used to meet your core requirement or a concentration requirement. The pop-up warning lets you know the course could count toward that particular area, however it does not prevent you from including the course in your electives. So if you have already fulfilled area, you may disregard the alert message. You should still be able to submit the iPOS even with these notifications, provided all sections have the correct number of credits and meet degree requirements.
I am am being prompted to petition for "deviating from the approved curriculum." I have verified that my iPOS aligns with the degree requirements. What should I do?
There may be an error with the system not recognizing a course. Please add your comments to the petition and submit for advising to review.
When will my iPOS be reviewed by Advising?
Please allow 2-3 weeks processing time.
If I list a course on the iPOS, will this ensure that I am able to enroll?
Course registration and iPOS approval are separate. If a course is listed and approved on the iPOS, this does not reserve a seat or guarantee registration in the course.
