My Action Plan (MAP) provides students with tools to plan and track their progress toward program completion. MAP audits are divided into blocks. Each block within the audit contains different information, specific to a student's current program on their official student record.
To change your program or University Calendar Year, see kpu.ca/declaration.
LEGEND
Start by familiarizing yourself with the Legend, which is found at the bottom of the audit page.
The Wildcard character, @, can be used to specify any subject code, or any course number. For example, a requirement written as 1 Class in HIST 1101 means this specific course. Whereas, a requirement written as 1 Class in HIST 11@ means any History course, within the numerical range from 1100 to 1199. A requirement written as 1 Class in @ 3000:4999 means a course of any subject, within the numerical range from 3000 to 4999.
CREDENTIAL BLOCK
The Credential block contains general requirements for the Degree, Diploma, Certificate, Citation or other credential. It also provides a summary of the additional detailed blocks that appear below.
CORE REQUIREMENTS OR FOUNDATION BLOCK
The Core Requirements or Foundation Block contains certain general requirements for the credential.
MAJOR BLOCK
The Major block contains the specific requirements for the main subject(s) of study.
MINOR BLOCK
The Minor block contains the specific requirements for the minor subject(s) of study. This block is present only if the student has declared one or more minors.
CONCENTRATION BLOCK
The Concentration block contains the specific requirements for the concentration. This block is present only if the student has declared a concentration (e.g. Co-operative Education or other programs that have curricular concentrations).
FALL THROUGH BLOCK
The Fall Through block lists any courses that are applicable to your program, yet don’t match a specific requirement. These courses count as electives, or as ‘extra’ courses. They contribute to your total credit count and Program GPA.
INSUFFICIENT BLOCK
The Insufficient block lists any courses that do not meet program requirements because of their grade.
IN-PROGRESS OR PREREGISTERED BLOCK
The In-Progress block lists any courses that a student is registered in for the current term, or for which a final grade has not yet been recorded.
The Preregistered block lists any courses that a student is registered in for a future term.
Note: Courses in Progress (CIP) are counted towards requirements and credit totals. If you repeat a course that is already on your record and receive the same or higher grade, then the previous credits will be forfeited. If the grade is lower, then the current credits will be forfeited. However, until final grades are processed for the repeat, both instances, i.e. the prior course as well as the course in progress (CIP), will temporarily appear in the audit as duplicate usable credits. Bear this in mind when calculating needed credits.
NOT COUNTED / OVER THE LIMIT BLOCK
The Not Counted / Over The Limit block lists any courses on your record that are from academic levels (e.g. Preparatory, Vocational, Undergraduate) that do not apply to the credential audited, that exceed a limit for credits in a specific set of courses, or that exceed an age limit (e.g. completed over 10 years prior).
The message “Max of zero classes/credits exceeded” refers to a limit on the number of classes/credits that has been coded for a particular category of courses (e.g. Age Limit for Courses, Academic Level, Faculty).
In the example above, the student is pursuing an Undergraduate-level program, therefore only Undergraduate-level courses will count toward their program requirements. The courses listed in Not Counted / Over The Limit are Vocational- and University Preparatory-level courses. As such, they are excluded.

COURSE ATTRIBUTES
Curricular requirements may refer to courses with specific attributes using the following initializations:
| ASTR | Courses designated as Associate’s Degree Transferable within B.C. |
| QUAN | Courses designated to meet quantitative requirements at KPU. |
| WRIT | Courses designated to meet the University Writing Instruction requirement at KPU. |
| WI | Courses designated to meet the University Writing Intensive requirement at KPU. |
| ACPR | Faculty of Academic & Career Preparation |
| ARTS | Faculty of Arts |
| BUSI | Melville School of Business |
| DESN | Wilson School of Design |
| HLTH | Faculty of Health |
| SCIH | Faculty of Science |
| TRAD | Faculty of Trades & Technology |
QUANTITATIVE (QUAN) COURSES
Courses designated as quantitative (QUAN) in the University Calendar from 2010-11 onwards have the QUAN attribute and thus are automatically able to fulfill quantitative curricular requirements. For courses taken prior to September of 2011, quantitative designation must be approved by the Faculty of Arts in order to fulfill quantitative curricular requirements. See an Arts Degree Advisor.
UNIVERSITY CALENDAR YEAR
The University Calendar Year is the year of the University Calendar with the curricular requirements that you must fulfill in order to graduate. It is usually designated by the date you commenced your program, but may have been changed by a subsequent declaration or readmission.
CROSS-LISTED COURSES
When a single course is offered under multiple subject codes, it is described as cross-listed. Alternate cross-listings will automatically fulfill specific requirements, they will not fulfill general requirements. For example, if MATH 101 is cross-listed with PHYS 101, then PHYS 101 will fulfill a specific requirement for 1 course in MATH 101, but it will not fulfill general requirements such as 1 Course in MATH 100:599, or 1 Course in MATH 1@, or 35 Credits in MATH @.
EQUIVALENT COURSES
When a new course replaces an old course and the content is sufficiently similar, the old course may be designated as equivalent. An equivalent course will automatically fulfill a specific requirement for the new course, it will not fulfill a general requirements. For example, if the old course HIST 201 has been set as equivalent to the new course HIST 301, then HIST 201 will fulfill a specific requirement for 1 course in HIST 301, but it will not fulfill general requirements such as 1 Course in HIST 300:599, or 1 Course in HIST 3@, or 35 Credits in HIST 3@.
HOLDS
Holds are administrative blocks on registration and/or graduation. Students can review their holds using the Student Profile. Please see an Academic Advisor or Student Enrollment Services (SES) to address the particular cause of your hold status.
GRADUATION STATUS
Your Graduation Status provides up-to-date information about the status of your application to graduate, provided your program of record (i.e. the one shown in your default audit upon login) matches the exact program in your application to graduate. Students should declare or change their program of record at kpu.ca/declaration prior to the term in which they intend to apply to graduate. Once your application has been processed, your Graduation Status will appear at the top of your MAP audit.
See kpu.ca/graduation for information about applying to graduate once you begin your final term of coursework.
