How to request a Sample SNAP

PLEASE NOTE that sample snaps are not up to date. They are correct as of Spring 09.

Classes taken since Spring 09 or new changes in academic programs are not reflected on the SNAPS.

Sample SNAP Request Form

Please read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow the instructions may prevent us from acting on your request.

The sample SNAP report allows you to evaluate how the courses you’ve already taken might apply in other majors and minors. The Academic Advising Center makes a limited number of sample SNAP reports available at no charge – but you may be asked to schedule an appointment with one of our academic advisers. The sample SNAP is a “what if” document showing what would happen if you change your academic program.

If you are seeking a copy of your current SNAP, that SNAP is available to you through TALON and should not be requested here.

Sample SNAP reports must be requested electronically, using this form.

Before you go any further with this request, please verify that the major/ minor combination you are about to request is offered at UW-L. We cannot fulfill your sample SNAP request if you request a SNAP for degree plans that are inconsistent with catalog offerings.

For example, you may not request a sample SNAP for a B.A. in Accountancy (there is no B.A. in Accountancy). Similarly, you may not request a sample SNAP for a major in Photography (UW-L does not offer a major in Photography).

If you are absolutely certain that your requested major/ minor combination is consistent with catalog requirements, please read on.

If you are not certain, go immediately to this link to view the list of available majors/ minors at UW-L: http://www.uwlax.edu/Records/05-07/probycol.htm

When you have finished completing the form, click Submit. Requests are processed as soon as possible, but please allow three working days - recognizing that requests submitted on Fridays are not processed until the following work week. We will respond to your UW-L e-mail box when your SNAP(s) are ready or if we need you to make an appointment with one of our advisers.

You may request up to two “what if” major/ minor combinations using this form.

Is there any other information we should know to process your Sample SNAP Report request?
