The information in Degree Works is refreshed each night. Any changes made (e.g., grade changes or classes added/dropped) will be seen in Degree Works the next day.

Yes. Once grades have been processed at the end of the semester, they are viewable in  Degree Works following the nightly refresh. Courses in-progress are listed with an "IP" grade.

Within each specific block, your degree audit will outline requirements for the degree, program and/or minor. This information should be used to discuss your academic plans and progress toward your degree with your academic advisor.

If you hover over any course number with your mouse, the name and credit hours for the course will display. If you click on any course, you will see complete information including a course description, list of any prerequisites, and scheduling information (scheduling information appears only if the college is allowing registration at the time).

This is a “wildcard” in Degree Works. If the @ sign appears with course numbers after it (i.e., @ 1000:4999), it means you can take any subject area with that level (1000-4000 level course from any subject area).  If the @ appears after a subject prefix (i.e., PSY @), it means you can take any course with that subject prefix (any course in Psychology).

At a minimum, you should review your audit during the following times:

       Before you meet with your academic advisor to discuss registration for an upcoming semester.

       After you register to ensure the courses you selected apply to your requirements as you had planned.

       After your grades for each semester are posted.

       Any time you make a change to your schedule or program.

Please ask your advisor for assistance. Below are the most common problems and courses of action:

Your degree audit is a tool to provide you with academic information related to your degree progress. It displays courses required and completed in your degree program. Your official transcript is your university academic record and provides a chronological list of courses completed and other academic information.

Once AP scores are received from the College Board, and credit is granted, they are posted to the student record and will appear on the audit. Likewise, transfer work will also appear.   

There could be two reasons. First, the course did not meet either the minimum number of credits and/or minimum grade requirement for use in your program of study. Second, all requirements have been met and this course is simply not needed. If the course is listed as an "XFER" with a course number, the transfer course uses a different course prefix than the university. The course will need to be evaluated by the appropriate department to see how it should apply. If you have a course that needs to be evaluated, take the "???form" to the appropriate department for review of the course. It is recommended that you attach the course description to the request.

You can use the “What-If” button to do an audit for your program of interest.

 “What-If?” audits show you the requirements for a program and how the courses you have already taken will apply to the program of interest. They DO NOT change your program, nor do they guarantee you will be able to graduate in the area you select.

Degree Works looks at your program holistically and places each course using a “best fit” scenario.  The system also has programmed priorities governing how certain courses will be used in your program. This process will not always be perfect, particularly when multiple possibilities exist. However, as you complete your requirements, it generally works out. If you are concerned about a course that does not appear in the area in which you wanted to use it, you may contact your advisor for assistance.

This is common. In order to ensure your degree meets the University’s General Studies requirements a specific course that is required in your program may be designated to fulfill that requirement. This enables you to obtain your degree without taking extra classes.

If it is your first semester at the university, you will not have a UWF GPA yet. Once your first semester is completed and grades have posted you will then see an institutional GPA.

Degree Works audit begins with the 2011 catalog year. If your catalog year is 2010 or earlier, you will not have an audit. You should consult your advisor.

If the coursework from another institution has course prefixes that we do not use, then the prefix is XFER. As with other courses applying to your program, questions should be directed to your advisor.
