This document describes how to read a degree audit for an advisee enrolled in an undergraduate program. If the student is enrolled in a graduate program, refer to How to Read Your Graduate Degree Audit. Students navigate to their degree audit a different way. Reference How To Read Your Undergraduate Degree Audit - LE for student steps.
A degree audit lists of all the requirements needed to graduate, and shows which ones are satisfied.
CAUTION: Requirements vary by degree and major, so make sure the major and degree (B.A. or B.S. for example) is correct.

When the degree audit comes up, click 
and wait about 30 seconds for the report (you may need to disable your pop up blocker first).
Check the college, majors and minors on the top of the report. If these are not correct, you can request a “what-if” degree audit—see below.
Organization of the Degree Audit
The first column of the degree audit is a set of reminders about the degree audit. In-progress courses will be treated as if they are complete. A requirement with in-progress courses may appear as completed, even the course is not finished.
The reminders are followed by a summary of courses, showing completed and in progress courses in various categories.
NOTE: The degree audit stops counting when there are enough credits to fulfill a requirement. General education requirements include 9 credits of social science. If a student has 15 credits in social science, only 9 credits will appear under the GE-III social science requirement. The only way to see the additional courses is through the course summary at the top.
After the course summary, the degree audit will list all requirements in requirement groups.
- If one or more of the requirements within a group is not complete, you will see red:
- Individual requirements that are not complete look like this:
- Completed requirements look like this:

I. Opening and Closing Requirement Groups
When you first open a degree audit, any requirement that has been completed will be collapsed; you will not be able to see the courses used to fulfill the requirement. You can open or close requirement groups by clicking on the green arrows 
.
[Reason #1 to use the PDF – you can inadvertently close something in the online version and THINK it is satisfied when it is not.]
TIPS:
- Click on Collapse All when you first open your audit. This will allow you to see your college and major. CHECK THIS TO SEE IF IT IS ACCURATE. If it isn’t, request a “what if” degree audit—see above. Student should also change your major by going to the department your desired major is in.
- Open one requirement group at a time. This will make the degree audit seem less overwhelming.
Within most requirement groups there are many individual requirements. These will also be collapsed if they have been met. To see what courses are being used for the requirement, click the arrows to open the requirement.
II. Only 10 Courses Show Up
Only 10 courses will show in any list. You must click View All to see all of the courses.
[Reason #2 to use the pdf. On the online version you may THINK you have taken all required courses if you have taken 10 but more are required.]
III. Interactive Features
If a requirement is met by a limited number of courses, the degree audit will give you a list of possibilities. You can then:
- Click on the course title hyperlink to get to the catalog description.
- If the class schedule is available, you can choose a section of the course that you want and put it in your shopping cart.
