Flawed Technology

This semester, I was looking at classes I can take next semester. This past semester, I took two electives classes that fulfills the Advertising and Marketing Communications major. The next semester, I was supposed to take two classes that require the Advertising and Marketing Communications foundation class as a prerequisite. I swapped an evening class for a class that fulfills the Marketing Analytics major to balance my General Marketing major classes.

After swapping classes, I saw that Degreeworks, a software that audits student's classes to see whether the classes are considered electives or not. On the program, I saw that the class that fulfills the Marketing Analytics major was considered an "elective class not accepted" instead of a major elective class.

Today, I went to the Academic Advisement office and showed the advisor that the class is considered to be a major elective class. She went to the Zicklin site and saw that it was an elective class for my major. Turns out I am not alone. There were other students who have the same situation where they registered for classes that comply with their majors but Degreeworks did not recognize it. The advisor then made a note of it. Now, I have to wait to see if it gets updated.
