APAS takes your liberal education and major requirements and electives and breaks them into requirement “blocks” on your APAS report. Within each requirement block there is a set of smaller or sub-requirements.

These are the most frequently used symbols on your APAS report. The more “OK” and “+” symbols on your APAS, the closer you are to graduating!
