Degree Works

Degree Works is a web-based degree audit tool that will help students electronically monitor their progress toward degree completion. This tool greatly enhances and assists students in navigating curriculum requirements.  

Degree Works combines the University of Michigan-Dearborn's degree requirements and the student's completed and in-progress coursework into an easy-to-read worksheet that will help students see how courses completed at UM-Dearborn, and courses transferred from other schools count toward degree requirements. Degree Works also displays for students the courses and requirements that still need to be completed. This system is designed to aid and facilitate academic advising but is not intended to replace face-to-face advising sessions. We anticipate that this tool will enhance efficiencies and foster more personal interactions between advisors and students.

Highlights

  • Supports real-time delivery of progress towards degree completion, 24/7
  • Provides a clear picture of degree requirements to help you navigate the most effective path to graduation

The degree compliance audits that are produced by Degree Works are dependent on a student's major/concentration and are organized by blocks. The blocks show what requirements are needed for a specific degree, major or minor, and help students to determine what is needed to fulfill the requirements within each block.  Data is extracted from the Student Information System into Degree Works on a nightly basis. Any change to your record in the Student Information System will not be reflected in Degree Works until the next day.
