What is DegreeWorks?
DegreeWorks is similar to the Advisement Data Sheet but has
more features. It is a web-based advisement tool which can
be used as a road map towards students’ graduation.
DegreeWorks matches students’ academic and course history
against the degree requirements as defined in the College
Bulletin. It can also provide specific guidance on
recommended future course requirements. Advisors can use
the tool to evaluate students' progress and alignment of their
program of study to their academic and career goals.
Who has access to DegreeWorks?
Any matriculated student who has been enrolled within the last
year has access to DegreeWorks.
