7. Is DegreeWorks a transcript? Is this the same as my transcript?
No. DegreeWorks is an audit of your progress toward graduation., as well as an outline of requirements still needed to complete your program of study.
8. What do I do if I believe my information is incorrect?
You should consult your advisor and review your audit with him/her to ensure accuracy.
1. What will my audit show me?
Your audit will display the courses you've taken or are in progress. The audit will show you any degree, major or concentration requirements that are being met by the courses you've taken or that may be met upon satisfactory completion of courses in progress.
2. How do I know what classes I need to take?
Your audit will outline for you courses still needed to meet degree, major, or concentration requirements within each specific block. You may then use this information to discuss your plan with your academic advisor.
3. If I withdraw from a class, will that be reflected in my audit?
Courses from which you have withdrawn will appear in the insufficient block on your audit.
1. What is the "What If" feature?
The "What If" function allows you to hypothetically change your major, minor, or concentration. Your new "What If" audit will show you what coursework is required for this major, minor, or concentration, what courses you have taken that satisfy requirements, and what courses are still left for you to take.
2. If I use the "What If" feature does this mean that I have changed my major?
No. The "What If" function is for information purposes only. You will see the header "What If" Audit displayed at the top of the audit whenever an audit is run on a" What If" scenario.
3. Can my advisor see my "What If" scenario?
No. You can only process a single degree with each "What If" scenario you run. However, if you want to save multiple "What If" plans, you will need to save it as a PDF file to your computer, or other storage device for future retrieval.
If your department or program needs to make a change to the curriculum or a requirement listed in DegreeWorks, please see the Business Cycle for the process.
