Degree Works

DegreeWorks

DegreeWorks is a web based tool to help students and advisors monitor student progress toward degree completion. DegreeWorks combines the requirements of each program of study with the coursework completed by each student into an easily readable worksheet; this worksheet lists courses completed, courses remaining for completion plus important information, such as GPA, substitutions or exceptions, “what if”, GPA calculator, planning options and more.

DegreeWorks is available to all students enrolled in degree, certificate, or diploma programs. DegreeWorks provides an online, real-time, but unofficial, degree audit. It allows students to view progress toward graduation and is used as an important advising resource.

Students should monitor their DegreeWorks degree audits throughout the semester, especially after registering or changing schedules and after grades are posted. If there is a question about the degree audit or placement of courses, the student should contact their advisor immediately and follow up with the Registrar’s Office if a correction is needed. Substitutions or exceptions regarding required courses must be submitted by the advisor to the Registrar’s Office.

Students who are considering a change of major may use the “What if” tab to create an audit of the new program requirements. Students who would like assistance in the use of Degree Works may contact their advisor or visit TECH Central.
