What is Degree Audit?

DegreeWorks is a web-based tool to help students and advisors monitor student progress toward degree completion. Degree Audit combines Northwest Missouri State University's degree requirements and the coursework you have completed with an easy-to-read worksheet that helps you see how courses that you have completed count toward degree requirements, and what courses and requirements you still need to complete.

Who can use Degree Audit?

Undergraduate students on catalogs 2006-current term can use the Degree Audit to view the requirements to fulfill degree requirements. Degree Audits are catalog specific, so changes in curriculum may require advisors to file an exception form stating any substitutions or changes necessary. 

I think my audit is incorrect. What should I do?

Please ask for help from your advisor! 虽然网上赌博网站十大排行已经尽了一切努力确保你的工作表是正确的, 网上赌博网站十大排行不可能预测到每一个独特的情况或问题. 网上赌博网站十大排行希望与您合作,尽快纠正任何问题. 第一步是澄清你认为哪些信息是错误的.  其他问题可直接向注册主任或研究生办公室询问.

These are the most common problems and solutions:

我的专业是错的,或者我的专注度没有出现在我的工作表上.

Undergraduate students need to update your major/minor/concentration information by filling out a form in the Registrar's Office. If you are changing advisors or adding a new advisor, the form will require the signature of the new advisor. 一旦更改完成,第二天就会出现在学位审核工作表上. 在预注册期间,更改可能不会立即反映出来.

If you are a Graduate student, 请与研究生办公室联系,以确定您的新项目和顾问. 然后,您将填写一份新的经批准的课程表格来完成此更改.

The requirements for my major are wrong.

Look at the catalog term that appears on each of the bars that separate the sections of your worksheet. This is the catalog currently identified on the system as the one you are using to complete your requirements. If you're actually using older or newer requirements, you will need to update your catalog information by submitting a form in the Registrar's Office or Graduate Office. 输入更改后,正确的信息将显示在工作表上.

My transfer courses don't appear in the right place.

如果你担心转学课程是如何被等同的,请联系招生办公室. 研究生应该联系他们的指导老师或研究生办公室.

我的BT学位审核并没有给出需要哪些要求的建议.

你必须与你的导师见面,选择你将采取的具体要求. 如果没有例外形式,这些要求可能不会反映在审计中.

我的指导老师或系主任允许我代课, but it's not showing on my audit.

Talk with your advisor to see if an exception has been sent. Advisors must initiate an exception/substitution by submitting an exception form to the Registrar/Graduate Office.

If you need additional help identifying what's wrong, contact the Registrar's Office/Graduate Office.

My graduation application has been submitted, 但是学位审核说我没有完成所有的要求. Does this mean that I won’t be able to graduate?

First, don't panic. If you have done everything indicated on the Advisor Graduation Check (Approved Program Form for Graduate Students), and if you have followed through on any requirements we told you that you still needed to complete, you should still be on track for graduation. 联系你的指导老师,讨论更新你的工作表需要什么.

When should I look at my degree audit?

At least four times a semester. You should always review this information:

  • Before 你与你的学术顾问会面,讨论即将到来的学期的注册事宜.
  • After you register to ensure that the courses you selected applied to your requirements like you thought they would.
  • After your grades for each semester are posted (Please view your grades through CatPAWS first because you will get your notice of Academic Standing there).
  • Any time you make a change to your schedule.

How is my degree audit different from my transcript?

Your degree audit is a tool to provide you with academic information related to your degree progress. 它显示了你的学位课程所需和完成的课程. Your transcript is your official university record and provides a chronological list of courses completed and other academic information. 你的正式成绩单必须向大学注册处索取.

学位审核如何决定在哪里安排我完成的课程?

Degree Audit looks at your program holistically, and places each course using a "best fit" scenario. Priorities have been programmed so that courses will be used in some areas before they will be used in others. When multiple possibilities exist, we've worked with department chairs to determine how most students will use a particular course. This process will not always be perfect, particularly when multiple possibilities exist, 所以如果你有一个课程没有出现在你想要使用它的区域, 请联系你的导师或注册办公室/研究生办公室寻求帮助.

学位审核把我的一门本科课程放在了两个不同的地方. Is that okay?

In most cases, yes. Degree Audit is programmed to recognize that some courses can fulfill more than one requirement. Be sure to look through requirements for your major in the University Catalog to make sure that this duplicate placement is appropriate. If you have any questions, contact your advisor.

如果学位审核将本科课程分在一个部分,我该怎么办, and I want to use it in another?

请联系您的指导老师,看看该课程是否被批准用于其他领域. 需要将例外表格发送到注册办公室以启动更改.

What is the upper division requirement?

Students earning a B.S.E.d. or B.S. 学位要求获得40小时的高级学分(课程编号为300或以上).  Students earning a B.A. degree are required to earn 32 hours of upper division credit. An upper division course is any course numbered 300 or above. Example: AGRI 03498 where the 03 indicates department and the 498 is the upper division course number. 学位审核的一行项目显示了你已经完成的高级课程的数量, 还有你剩下的数字要完成才能满足要求. 

How are incomplete grades counted on the degree audit?

未完成的成绩在学位审核中被视为正在进行的课程.

I earned an Associate’s Degree before I came to Northwest. How does this appear on my worksheet?

In most cases, your classes were coded during the Admissions process so they would be placed in the correct place on your worksheet. 如果你的工作表不像你期望的那样,请联系注册办公室.

是否有学位审核不检查的毕业要求?

A few. While Degree Audit has been designed to check almost everything that you must complete to qualify for degree completion, 你的专业可能有额外的要求必须完成(例如, Portfolio, Praxis Exam, Oral Exam, etc.). You should use Degree Audit  in conjunction with the University Catalog and with any information that your major department provides to ensure that you remain on track for graduation. 如果你对专业的其他要求有疑问, talk with your advisor during your next advising appointment.

The worksheet says that my Math Skills courses were excluded. What does this mean?

如果你修过低年级数学课程(课程编号低于100), a line will appear on your worksheet in the Not Counted section that states that these courses have been excluded. Northwest Missouri State University does not allow these courses to be counted toward the total hours required for graduation. We are putting these courses in this section so you are aware that these courses cannot be used toward the 124 or 120 hours required for undergraduate degrees. 这些课程确实计入全日制入学所需的12小时.

I petitioned to waive/substitute a course. How will that course appear on Degree Audit?

你的请愿书将被你的导师批准后编入程序, department chair, and, if necessary, associate provost. The course you completed will fulfill the requirement, and, in most cases, 在它下面将出现另外一行,解释输入异常的原因. If you have a petition related to a transfer course, we will often make an adjustment to the course equivalency to ensure that it appears in the correct spot on your audit. In those cases, 工作表上可能没有与更改相关的解释, but the course will be moved to the correct location.

I want to change my major. How can I see what would be required if I made this change?

您可以使用“what-if”选项卡使用您选择的标准执行审计. Please note, though, that what-if audits are unofficial and do not guarantee that you will be able to major in the area you select. If you decide you'd like to change your major, you should visit the department office for your intended major for information on major change procedures. 专业或未成年人所在部门的顾问是必需的.

A What-If audit is not available for my degree?

Some programs such as Non-Degree Pre-Professional programs are specifically tailored for each student thus a standard audit does not exist. Advisement is provided by advisor to guide course selection.

我的专业要求我修辅修或辅修,但是审计中没有显示. What’s wrong?

Either you haven't declared your minor or concentration yet, or you ran a "what-if" without adding a minor or concentration. 如果你需要申报你的注意力集中,请联系你的部门办公室寻求帮助.

I’m getting two degrees (BA and BS, or BS and BSEd, etc). Only one appears on the worksheet. How can I check the requirements for my other program of study?

看看屏幕上方你名字旁边的学位信息. You'll notice that the degree box has a drop-down arrow. Use this to select your second program.

我现在正在重修一门课程,我不明白它是如何出现在学位审核上的. Can you explain this to me?

如果你在重修一门课程,你的最后一次尝试将计入学位要求. This will be the attempt that appears on your worksheet. After your second attempt is graded, the highest grade will be applied toward your requirement and the lowest grade will be placed in an "insufficient" category at the bottom of your worksheet. The courses in this area do not count toward your total hours, and they cannot be used to fulfill requirements.

在我的学位审核中,有些课程与在线目录有超链接,有些则没有. 我怎样才能看到我的课程中所有课程的描述?

Most of the classes should be hyperlinked. Please note that there is a timing issue that compromises the accuracy of the information for future terms. Please check CatPAWS for the correct scheduling information.

I’ve seen the @ symbol in several places on my worksheet. What does this mean?

This is a wild card in Degree Audit. If the @ sign appears with course numbers after it (i.e., @ 300:599),这意味着你可以从任何学科领域学习300-500级的课程. If it appears after a subject prefix (i.e., PSYC @), it means that you can take any Psychology course.

What does the “Process New” button do?

The "Process New" button refreshes a student record once changes have been made in Degree Audit.

What does the double tilde mean?

The double tilde means that intervention is needed by the advisor because Degree Audit cannot resolve a question.

I have completed all my Northwest Core requirements, 但是审计没有选中这个框,并且表明我还需要额外的时间. What should I do?

You will need to contact the Registrar's office because the hours will need to be changed manually.

Which GPA is used for the graduation calculator?

The overall GPA is used.

How can I get my undergraduate GPA if I am a graduate student?

Simply do a what-if and change the level to an undergraduate.

The What-If option for graduates show my 3.我的平均绩点达到了00,但是我还没有完成任何研究生课程?

The what-If option pulls your GPA from your undergraduate record.  When you are accepted into a graduate program your degree audit will pull your GPA from your graduate coursework only.

Where can I get more information about how to use Degree Audit?

如果您有任何问题或建议,请联系注册办公室/研究生办公室.

Who should I contact if I still have questions?

Your first point of contact should be your academic advisor. 如果会后你还有问题,请联系注册办公室/研究生办公室.
