• I am working on two degrees or majors (a B.A. and a B.S.). Only one appears. How can I review progress on the other degree?

  Look at the degree information next to your name at the top of the screen. You鈥檒l notice that the degree box has a drop-down arrow. Use this to select your second degree.

  Degree Works opens automatically to the Student View of your audit. Your graduation requirements are organized into blocks, based on type (i.e. major-specific, liberal arts core, etc.). These blocks are summarized at the top of your audit.
  Specific requirements are then listed in each block. As you look at requirements, click on the course number to view more information. If you see an * that means there is a prerequisite (a course you need to take/satisfy first); click on the course subject and number to view prerequisites.

  You can view your audit two other ways 鈥� Registration Checklist or Graduation Checklist. To change views, select an option from the format dropdown and then select the View button.

Your Degree Works Audit is part of your Education Record and is protected under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).
  As with any other personal information that you access on-line, you should be sure to logout of your account before leaving a public computer.

  You'll be able to track the progress of a course adjustment (substitution) through the email notifications you'll receive:

  1. When your advisor submits the form for the adjustment.
  2. When the department chair approves or denies the adjustment.
  3. When the approval or denial goes to the Office of the Registrar. Note: If you receive an approval email from the Office of the Registrar, you will need to run a new audit in Degree Works to see the substitution applied to your degree requirements.
• Who can I contact if I still have questions or believe there is a mistake on my audit?

  Your first point of contact should be your academic advisor. If your advisor is unable to resolve your questions they may refer you to the appropriate contact person in the Office of the Registrar (undergraduate students) or Graduate School Office (graduate students).  You may also submit e-mail questions to graduation@unco.edu (undergraduate students) or grad.school@unco.edu (graduate students).

• What is included in the 鈥渃redits applied鈥� number?

  Credits applied include all your completed courses, your transfer courses, and your current registration.

• How can I tell on Degree Works if I have applied for graduation?

  You will see a green check mark in the 鈥淕raduation Application Filed鈥� box under the header of Degree in Bachelor of Science or Art.

• Why is there a red box by Undergraduate Graduation Honors?

  This means you did not meet either the GPA requirement or possibly the minimum credits required (56) to qualify for Latin Honors. It is not a degree requirement to have Latin Honors, so this section is just for your information.

• Where can I see what catalog I鈥檓 in?

  The block headers all show your catalog year over to the right, and your GPA for the classes that are in that section are shown there as well.

• How can I save a Degree Works audit?

  You can either hit 鈥減rint鈥� or 鈥淪ave as PDF鈥� to save or print your audit. There is not an automatic 鈥渟ave鈥� of your audit.

• I am retaking a class that is required for my major, but it鈥檚 not pulling in to show that it鈥檚 in progress, why?

  If you are retaking a class for your degree, you will see that class in your 鈥渋nsufficient鈥� block toward the bottom of the worksheet. Degree Works will not show it in progress on the major or minor unless you earn the required grade. It will automatically pull in once your grade is entered. As long as you see it in your registration and on your Degree Works under 鈥渋nsufficient鈥�, you can be assured that your registration is correct.
