Check Your Degree Progress (Audit)

What It Is

A degree audit report is a tool that tracks degree requirements. We recommend reviewing an up-to-date degree audit every semester to help yourself stay on track toward graduation.

A degree audit:

Identifies your academic/degree requirements & applies college-defined course rules.

Lists your transfer credits & cutbacks for repeated and equivalent courses.

Provides hypothetical, "what-if" degree information to show how your coursework would apply to a different program.
