DegreeWorks is a web-based application that provides a comprehensive set of academic advising and degree audit tools to help students and advisors effectively plan for graduation. Through DegreeWorks students and advisors can easily see the progress that has been made toward a degree and determine what course requirements are remaining. "What If" and "Look Ahead" features are provided to allow students and advisors to see how progress toward graduation would be impacted by a change in major, minor, or concentration or by choosing certain courses in a future term.
DegreeWorks also provides multiple Grade-Point Average Calculators to determine steps for achieving a goal GPA, and direct access to multiple related services and information including the ability to email a student or a student's advisor and hyperlinks to detailed course information including the course description, prerequisites, and class schedule.
