If you have graduated and received your diploma prior to the implementation of Degree Works (see question above), your requirements in your audit may show as in-progress or incomplete even though they were resolved when you graduated. For example, if you had approved petitions these may not be reflected on your audit because petitions were not entered for prior graduates. | ||

Please ask your advisor for assistance. The first step is to clarify what information you believe is wrong. These are the most common problems and courses of action: • My major is wrong on my audit. If you have not officially changed your major, contact your current advisor for instructions. If you have already officially changed your major, the Degree Works audit will only display your active degree audit. If your change is effective for a future term, the change may not reflect until that term. • The requirements for my major are wrong. Look at the catalog term that appears on the major requirements block of the audit. According to our records this is the catalog (bulletin) that you are using to complete your major requirements. If you believe you should be using older or newer requirements, contact your advisor. • My transfer courses don't appear in the right place. If you are concerned about a transfer course that should be applying in the audit, contact your advisor. • Classes are not applying in the “right” place. Degree Works uses a ‘best fit’ approach for meeting requirements so classes may apply to different sections as you take more courses. If you have further questions, please contact your advisor. • My advisor or department chair gave me permission to substitute a course, but it's not showing on my audit. Talk with your advisor. Advisors and students can request to the designees of your home college, an exception to the standard requirements. Once exceptions are entered, the change will appear on the audit. • My minor is missing from my audit. If you have not officially declared your minor, contact your current advisor for instructions. If you have already officially declared your minor, your department may still be updating your records. Please contact your department for a status of the change. • My major requires me to complete an area of emphasis, but it didn’t appear on the audit. What’s wrong? If you have not officially declared your area of emphasis, contact your current advisor for instructions. If you have already officially declared your area of emphasis, your department may still be updating your records. Please contact your department for a status of the change. If none of these problems describe your situation, or if you need additional help identifying what’s wrong, contact your advisor. If the advisor believes a technical error exists on the audit, they will contact your home college and the Office of the Registrar. |

Not necessarily. This can be a timing issue such as posting of grades for the current term, or if you are a recent graduate or Senior, your home college may not have added all petitions to your record. If you have followed through on any requirements you were told to complete, you should still be on track for graduation. Contact your advisor and home college office as soon as possible. | ||

At least four times a semester. You should always review your audit: 1. Before you meet with your academic advisor to discuss registration for an upcoming semester. 2. After you register to ensure that the courses you selected applied to your requirements like you thought they would. 3. After your grades for each semester are posted. 4. Any time you make a change to your schedule or major. |

You should use Degree Works in conjunction with the Undergraduate Course Catalog and with any information that your major department provides to ensure that you remain on track for graduation. If you have questions about any additional requirements for your major, talk with youradvisor. |
