Degree Works

What Is Degree Works?

• Degree Works is a web-based tool that will provide a clear and convenient method for students and advisors to track degree progress, to prepare for registration, and to plan for graduation.
• Degree Works is designed to aid and facilitate academic advising, but is not intended to replace face-to-face advising sessions.
• Degree Works provides information in a more user-friendly, interactive and readable format than our former program requirement sheets in the portal.
• Students and advisors will have the ability to develop long-range degree completion plans through Degree Works and incorporate those plans in student audits. Planning semesters will help both advisors and advisees connect and communicate effectively.

Degree Works for advisors:

• Reduces paperwork and manual program requirement sheets
• Offers the advisor the opportunity to discuss “what if” scenarios for students interested in other programs
