How to track your Degree Completion

Degree Works most importantly tracks what classes you have taken, what courses you have completed, and what courses you are currently registered. Degree Works shows you how those courses have been applied to your degree requirements.

The Degree Progress will give an estimate of your degree completion. Please understand that this tracks your number of check boxes completed, NOT how far you are along in your degree. Do not use it when comparing degree programs in terms of completion. Always discuss your degree percentage and progress with your academic advisor.
