Most students will take their business courses in a similar order as they move from
their freshmen to senior years. The link below will take you to the common sequencing
of courses for CBA students:
CBA Course Sequence Guide.
A section that is incomplete will have a heading listed in red with a "NO" listed at the top.
Under this heading will be the specific requirements.
A minus (-) sign means the requirement is not complete. Degree Audit will list the number of remaining
hours. Below that will be a list of courses that can fulfill that requirement.
If the requirement is complete, it will have a plus sign (+) and the course completing the
requirement will be listed in green.
If the entire section has been fulfilled, the top of the section will be listed in black.
The section will also say "OK".
College Entrance Requirements
College entrance requirements are the classes that UNL expects students to have completed
prior to entering a degree program. Normally these classes are taken in high school or at a
community college prior to enrolling at UNL. However, if you were admitted to UNL with a deficiency,
you can complete the requirement by taking UNL courses. See the bulletin for more information about how
to clear the various types of entrance deficiencies. Classes taken to clear a deficiency do not count
toward a CBA degree.
Admissions - Removing Admission Deficiencies
If you were admitted with no entrance deficiencies, this box will be listed as "OK", as seen below.
Non-Business Requirements (NBR):
Non-Business Requirements (NBR) are the general education part of the degree. Students must complete
one class in each area. For every area where a minus sign is listed, there will be a list of course
that can be taken to fulfill this area. Students can find more information about their Non-Business

Before a student’s last semester for graduation, Degree Audit needs to go complete. This means all
areas of Degree Audit are listed as "OK" or "IP" for In Progress. The top of DARS will also change
for graduating seniors who are correctly signed up for their final semester. A correctly
enrolled student should see at the top of Degree Audit:
This means the student is signed up for at least what is required for graduation. It is
still a good idea to see an adviser to ensure that there are no extra classes that the student is enrolled in.
If a student is expecting to graduate, but Degree Audit does not have the above line, students will see:
This indicates that there is a problem with the student’s enrollment, and needs to
see an adviser as soon as possible.
This line is found at the top of Degree Audit, immediately before the College Entrance Requirements.
