Roane State Community College

What is the "What If" feature?

The "What If" function allows you to hypothetically change your major, minor, or concentration. Your new "What If" audit will show you what coursework is required for this degree, major or concentration, what courses you have taken that satisfy requirements, and what courses are still left for you to take.

If I use the "What If" feature does this mean that I have changed my major?

No. The "What If" function is for information purposes only. You will see the header "What If" Audit displayed at the top of the audit whenever an audit is run on a "What If" scenario.

How can I save my "What If" scenario?

"What If" plans are not automatically saved on DegreeWorks. You can create a PDF to save for later review by following these steps:

1. Select What-If
2. Choose your “Area of Study”
3. Select “Save as PDF” – it will process the What-if and create a PDF document that you can save to your computer, flash drive or other storage device.
4. You can email the saved document for your faculty advisor to review.
5. If you don’t want to save your “What If” – just select “Process What-If”.

If I like what I see in my "What If" scenario, how do I initiate those changes?

Discuss the possibility of changing your major with your faculty advisor, or one of the professional advisors in the Advising Resource Center or a Career Counselor.  Once you determine if it is the right career plan for you, then change your major in RaiderNet.  You will be assigned a new advisor for your newly selected major.
