According to the ADA graduation requirements listed here I need 122 hours
to graduate.
https://packtracks.ncsu.edu/scripts/RegRec/ada_dgtt.pl

According to my academic totals on tracs I have 124 hours (including ones
that are in progress).

According to the degree audit on tracs I have all the classes I need
already taken or in progress.

But my academic totals section on tracs says I only have 115 passed, that
added to 16 hours in progress brings me to 121 which is 1 short of the ADA
requirements. My transcript on tracs also only lists 115 as my total
hours passed.

Between classes I've taken interinstitutionally, intro level language
classes whose credits don't work normally, the credit only classes I've
had, scholars forum, and the manual substituions that have been made to my
degree audit I really have no idea what is correct. But I expect to
graduate this semester and I don't want a possible 1 hour that my degree
audit doesn't list to mess with that.

Is there any way to find out for sure if I'm actually going to be 3 hours over or 1 hour short? And if 1 hour short is there anything I can do about it? Can I get the 1 hour waived since I'll have met all the degree audit requirements?

(I asked for wolfeee's advice, but if anyone has experienced this or has any advice plz feel free to share)

your math is in error...115 + 16 = 131. looks to me like you're fine, credit total-wise

i think that 115 may have been a 105 that i miscopied rather than my math being wrong... but i should check on that right now

Yeah I took a 105 from ABCD hours... theres actually no problem. I just paniced. I basically copy and pasted from the first post into an e-mail to my advisor. Now I get to send my advisor an e-mail explaining how I'm an idiot

I think checking your totals is call "responsible" not idiotic

Interinstitution courses can be taken care of at R&R. The lady there (Holly Swart) is absolutely great at resolving difficulties. You can check in the mean time for courses that will directly transfer for credit here: http://www7.acs.ncsu.edu/uga/course.htm. Credit only classes you can look up where they will fit on your degree audit. Scholars Forum/Manual Substitutions you'll have to talk with your advisor about.

Best thing to do is sit down on your own and try to figure out where everything goes. May take a couple of hours, but will help out your advisor a bit when they go to make the changes. Not saying you shouldn't use your advisor, but be easier on both of you if you knew ahead of time (some) of the changes that need to be made ... can figure out the rest when you get there.
