Understanding program requirements

The requirements within the audit are governed by rules for which courses can count, and these rules are called constraints. The constraints define the criteria required to satisfy the requirement.

Identifying why a course isn't counting

If you notice a course isn't counting towards a requirement, first, ensure the course fulfills all of the constraints and has not been fulfilled by another requirement in the audit.
