Academic Requirements (AR) Tool
Academic Requirements is an online tool that shows your completed and pending degree courses.
Academic Requirements (AR) is an online planning tool. It allows you to view the completed and pending course requirements for your degree. You can also use the tool to plan future course selections and explore adding, removing or entirely changing your degree program components.
This tool will help you plan, but it doesn’t replace speaking with an advisor to make sure you’re on track with your degree.

How to access AR
Go to your Student Centre. Click on Program and Advising Info, and then select Academic Requirements Report. You can also access your AR report in your Student Centre. Visit the My Academics section and find it under the Quick Links list.
“What-If” reports
The “What-If” report feature in AR allows you to see how your courses could apply toward either a different UCalgary degree program or a component (such as a minor, concentration or second major) added to your existing program.
A “What-If” report is just a tool to help you plan, not a way to actually change your program. Discuss potential program changes with an advisor in your faculty advising office.

What-if reports

Academic requirements and regulations are often more complicated than they appear. Are you finding that your What-If selections don’t meet requirements as you expected they would? Contact your faculty advising office for guidance before proceeding with course registration.
