The University Adjustment System (UAS) allows advisors to submit adjustments for individual undergraduate and professional students online, and those adjustments are routed through electronic workflow for approval(s) and uploaded to Compass/Howdy. The UAS also allows advisors to track the routing of an adjustment and determine when it is complete. The University Adjustment System is available at https://adjustments.tamu.edu/.
Each degree awarded by Texas A&M University has its own unique program and catalog requirements. Please refer to the specific catalog the student is officially following in Compass to determine which program requirements a student has remaining for degree completion and which courses may be used for adjustments. It is also recommended advisors generate a new degree evaluation in Howdy for reference when processing an adjustment for a student. Please refer to Texas A&M University Student Rule 14 to view University additional general degree requirements at Texas A&M.

Program Adjustments Information
Whereas each college must retain the flexibility to improve its curriculum, course offerings may be changed during the student's education. If a course required under a previous catalog is no longer offered, a student eligible to graduate according to that catalog should consult with his or her academic advisor or dean to identify another course that may be used to fulfill the requirement. Course substitutions in the degree program are permitted only with the approval of the dean. Furthermore, the University reserves the right to make any changes in requirements it may consider necessary and desirable by due notice in the catalog (from the Texas A&M University Undergraduate Catalog).Each degree awarded by Texas A&M University has its own unique program and catalog requirements.
