Degree Works

Monitor your progress toward degree completion.

The degree audit (Worksheet) is a review of past and current coursework that provides information about completed and outstanding requirements.

If all of your requirements are marked as complete with in-progress courses, including your total overall required credits, your Requirements progress circle will be 98%. This will change to 100% when you successfully complete those in-progress courses.

Navigate to Degree Works in your account: Registrar and Student Accounts > Student Records > Degree Works for Students.

READING YOUR DEGREE WORKS (AUDIT)

Degree Works automatically pulls your successfully completed courses and in-progress courses into their appropriate requirements.

Your worksheet is divided into several areas:

  • Degree block shows your overall degree requirements: cumulative credit and GPA requirements, general education and any majors or minors you have declared.
  • General Education Requirements block details each requirement for your declared degree.
  • Major and Minor blocks will be listed separately for each major and minor you have declared.
  • Elective block uses courses that do not complete a specific general education, major or minor requirement. These courses are still counted in your overall earned credits.
  • Insufficient block uses courses that you have failed, withdrew from or repeated. These courses do not count toward your overall earned credits.
  • In-Progress block lists any courses for which you are currently registered. This will include future terms, if appropriate.
  • Exceptions block shows any substitutions or waivers that have been approved.

Each requirement has a circle to indicate its status.

  • Red/empty circle means the requirement is incomplete
  • Blue/squiggle circle means the requirement will be complete, assuming you successfully complete the in-progress course
  • Green/checkmark circle means the requirement was completed in a previous term

Each red/empty circle will indicate the course(s) you need for that specific requirement. Click the blue hyperlink next to "Still Needed" for a list of courses that fulfill the requirement.

When all requirements in a block are complete, the block itself will have a green/checkmark circle.
