Academic Requirements (AR) Tool

Academic Requirements (AR) is an online planning tool. It allows you to view the completed and pending course requirements for your degree. 


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 plan future course selections and explore adding, removing, or entirely changing your degree program components.

This tool will help you plan but doesn’t replace speaking with an advisor to make sure you’re on track with your degree. Learn more about advising


How to access AR

Go to your my.ucalgary.ca Student Centre. Click on Program and Advising Info then select Academic Requirements Report. You can also access your Academic Requirements Report through the Quick Links section at the bottom of your Student Centre under My Academics


“What-If” reports

A “What-If” report is a feature in AR that allows you to see how your courses would hypothetically be used toward either a different UCalgary degree program or a component (e.g. a minor, concentration, or second major) added to your existing program.

A “What-If” report is just a tool to help you plan, and not a way to actually change your program. You should always discuss potential changes to your program with an advisor in your faculty advising office.
