Using the Audit

What will my audit show me?

Your audit will display the courses you’ve taken and the courses that are in progress. The audit will also show you any degree, major, or concentration requirements that have been meet by the courses you’ve taken and/or that may be met upon satisfactory completion of courses in progress.

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.

If I withdraw from a class, will that be reflected in my audit?

Yes. Courses that you have withdrawn will appear in the insufficient block on your audit.

“What If” Feature

What is the "What If" feature?

The "What If" feature allows you to hypothetically change your major, minor, or concentration. Your "What If" audit will show you what coursework is required for this hypothetical major, minor, or concentration, what courses you have taken that satisfy requirements, and what courses are still left for you to take.

If I use the "What If" feature does this mean that I have changed my major?

No. The "What If" feature 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.

Can my advisor see my "What If" scenario?

No. Your advisor cannot see your "What If" scenario.

If your department or program needs to make a change to the curriculum or a requirement listed in Degree Works, please see the Degree Works Business Cycle for the process.
