Once a substitution has been accepted, there is typically a note under that section of the Degree Navigator.
For example, I was able to use my honors research to satisfy my major research requirement. The following is directly beneath the class:
“Note: Faculty approved substitution of XXXX 3980 (Honors course) to satisfy this requirement. Documentation is in file.”
So if that isn’t there, it may be something to reach out about.
And @GoldenRock, it sounds like you pretty much understand the process. What does GE stand for though?
