The worksheet is comprised of links to MySlice/Degree works Answers, the student's academic information, worksheet formats, requirement blocks, historical audits and the legend. Students can also print their audit, email their advisor or view their class history which is similar to an "unofficial transcript."

Student Information
A student's ID, Preferred Name and Degree Type will display at the top of the worksheet.
If you have multiple degree types as a graduate student (e.g. CAS and MS); or a dual program or double major with different degree types as an undergraduate student, the Degree field at top will appear as a dropdown.
The drop down can be used to switch between your degree audits.
Student Header Information
The student header information displayed above the audit is a customized view of a student's program of study and demographic information.
- Career - Displays your academic career (i.e. Undergrad, Grad, Law)
- Academic Level - Displays your academic level (i.e. sophomore)
- College - Displays the college(s) of your chosen major(s)/programs
- Major - Displays your declared major(s) or graduate programs
- Minor - Displays a minor if declared
- Concentration - Displays a declared concentration (a.k.a track/specialization) if a major that requires a concentration
- Advisors - Displays advisor name or names if multiple. Advisors can emailed by clicking email icon at top right of screen
- Student ID - Displays SU ID here so will print on audit if saving as pdf or printing
- Cumulative GPA - displays in Degree progress Section above audit; GPA is overall GPA from MySlice.
NOTE FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS:
If a graduate student has multiple degrees of same type in same career (i.e. 2 Certificates of Advanced Studies or 2 Masters of Science), the new dashboard is showing the information for each degree twice. It does not impact the functionality of the audit. It merely makes the student header information look duplicative.
In addition, the degree type may show in degree dropdown at top of audit duplicate times as well, but will retrieve the same audit.
The exception to this is a CAS under the Law career is a different degree from the graduate CAS and will be 2 separate audits since 2 different careers. The duplicate student header information issue is being addressed and with hopes of a quick resolution!

Legend
The legend displays at the bottom of the Student View audit. It provides a simple description of the various symbols throughout the audit.
Complete: (green outlined circle with green checkmark)
This symbol will appear beside all requirements within the audit that have been completed. When hovering over the symbol, the description of the symbol will appear "Requirement is complete."
Not Complete: (red outlined circle)
This symbol will appear beside all requirements that have not been completed. When hovering over the symbol, the description of the symbol will appear "Not complete."
Complete except for classes in-progress: (blue outlined circle/circle is half blue)
This symbol will appear for requirements where you are currently registered for the class(es) needed to fulfill the requirement. When hovering over the symbol, the description of the symbol will appear "When the in-progress classes are completed this requirement should be complete."
Nearly complete-GPA or credit req needs review-See advisor: (tan circle with tan exclamation point)
This symbol will appear when all of the course requirements have been met but there are additional requirements such as gpa, minimum credits of a discipline or minimum credits of a block that have not been met. For example, if you have completed all of your course requirements but have not met the minimum gpa requirement of the block, this symbol will appear at the top of that block. When hovering over the symbol, the description of the symbol will appear "When the in-progress classes are completed this requirement should be complete."
@ Designates any course number or any subject
The "@" symbol in Degree Works is considered a wildcard. The symbol means it represents all courses when used as course prefix or as a course number or both. When the @ symbol precedes a range of numbers (i.e. @ 100:499), any course prefix within that range of course numbers will fulfill the requirement. When a course prefix is followed by @ (i.e. BIO @), this means any course number with that prefix will fulfill the requirement. If a requirement is noted with @ @, this means any prefix and any course number will fulfill the requirement.
Grade Definitions or other symbols in audit (NOT in legend):
- TR - the grade associated with transfer credit awarded from another institution
- OT - the grade awarded for test based transfer credit (i.e. AP exam)
- IP - the grade for a course that is currently being taken
- : (colon) Designates a range of courses; If a colon is showing between course numbers in a requirement (i.e. CHE 100:499) it designates a range. Any course within the numbers in the range will fulfill the requirement
- ADV_APPR - Advisor Approved; A requirement that contains ADV_APPR Advisor Approved means that an advisor must approve the course to be used for that requirement and the advisor or school/college representative is responsible for manually entering the course into Degree Works through exceptions.
