This feature allows the student and their advisor to create a hypothetical degree audit for a different major at UNH using your current academic history. The “What-If” audit will show you what coursework is required for the new major, what courses you have taken that satisfy requirements, and what courses would still be left to complete. The “What-If” feature is for informational purposes only. To officially change your major, you will need to submit a request through Webcat.

  4. Select process to view the “What-If” audit.
