There are several ways an advisor can have the “Complementary Studies” requirement cleared on a student’s DPR.

1. Submit an Advisor Request for clearing the Complementary Studies requirement
2. Request access to the student group “CSCM,” which clears this requirement for a student

We are actively working on coding this requirement in the DPR so that the Complementary Studies requirement will automatically clear when students have taken appropriate coursework.  We will update the community as soon as these changes are complete.
