- Scroll down on the MAP homepage to see Getting Started Understanding your Audit, and FAQs.
My BA in GS Audit isn't showing the 2 disciplines I've chosen. Why did it choose a different discipline(s)?
The degree audit doesn't choose your disciplines for you; the programming cannot reliably find all the disciplines with 15 credits or more, You get to choose your 3 disciplines. Once you apply to graduate, a Graduation Officer will review your academic record and force MAP to show the correct disciplines.
Why is my repeated course showing up twice in my audit?
Courses in Progress (CIP) are counted towards requirements and credit totals. This means your credit count will be inaccurate in your degree audit for that semester until a final grade is posted.
Can I use all my transfer credits towards my BA degree?
As long as you are still meeting KPU's residency requirements (see Policy AC14's Residency section) and the BA Framework requirements. See an Arts Degree Advisor for more details.
