Degree Works

What is Degree Works?

Degree Works is an online degree auditing tool that allows you to track your students’ progress towards completing their degrees.

This system will show a student’s Degree Audit - a comprehensive breakdown of the graduation requirements for their degree and major/program of study.

You can use Degree Works to map out your students’ remaining semesters, including: planning class schedules, calculating GPA, and exploring a change of major or program.

Degree Works and FERPA

All faculty and staff are required to abide by the Federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).

NOTE: It is imperative to only access records that pertain to your assigned students. Any unauthorized access to information regarding students outside your roster, accessing information for non-academic purposes, or sharing it with unauthorized individuals is a violation of FERPA.

Finding Students

You can search by a student’s ID number (9-digit ID beginning with N). If you do not have student’s ID, use the Advanced Search link for additional options.

The “Advance Search” function allows for you find students individually or as a group. Choose the options that are applicable in the drop down menus OR enter the student’s name and click search. You may choose one or multiple students from the list of students who meet your criteria.
