What Is A Degree Audit?
A degree audit is a comprehensive representation of student’s degree requirements for their specific program and the progress made towards meeting those requirements. Requirements are listed as “satisfied” or “unsatisfied.” It gives an overview of courses which may be used to fulfill/satisfy a specific requirement.
You can request a degree audit from:
- The Enrollment Center/Main Office at Downtown, Regional, and Truax campuses
- Your advisor in the Student Development Center at Downtown, Regional, or Truax Campuses
- Your program office
- Your faculty advisor
