CAPP
CAPP (Curriculum, Advising, and Program Planning) is the online degree auditing system for undergraduate and graduate programs at LMU. CAPP, accessed through
PROWL, is the record of progress toward the student's stated degree. Although CAPP evaluates coursework toward the degree, it is not the official record of courses taken at LMU. Further, it may not be used to verify enrollment, grades, or GPA.
CAPP is designed to include all of the student's coursework including:
- Advanced placement (AP) credit
- Transferred courses taken at other institutions
- LMU courses that are graded, in-progress, or registered for in the upcoming semester
All requirements for the student’s degree are listed on CAPP. A message of Yes or No is displayed next to each requirement showing the student which courses remain for degree completion. When any aspect of a student’s program changes, it is reflected immediately in CAPP.
CAPP groups courses by area (Core, Electives, Major, Upper Division, etc.) to show how they count toward degree requirements. A course may appear in two areas if the course can count for both requirements. Refer to the Guide to CAPP for further details.
The Office of the Registrar uses CAPP to clear students for graduation. All areas in CAPP must show met before the student can be cleared to graduate. CAPP areas include not only core, major, and minor requirements, but also the required amount of upper division hours and the total number of hours necessary to complete a degree.
Students should review CAPP regularly to make sure that courses are listed in the correct areas. CAPP may be adjusted by the student to allow for course substitutions, waived requirements, or any other variances in the program of study. Students must submit an approved Petition for CAPP Adjustments form to the Office of the Registrar in order to adjust CAPP.
