Understanding Degree Audit Student User Documentation Current students, both undergraduate and graduate, are now able to evaluate progress in their program(s), i.e. major, minor, certificate, and/or specializations, using Degree Audit in WebAdvisor. Below are samples of undergraduate degree audits. These programs are more complex in their structure but the concepts and instructions for reading a degree audit are universal across all academic levels. *** Although some earlier programs may be reflected in Degree Audit, *** only catalog years 2009 forward are fully supported. 1) Log in to WebAdvisor. 2) Click on "Current Student". The student menu should display "Degree Audit" under the Academic Profile menu.
3) When a student accesses Degree Audit, the following screen is displayed. Please select the active program you want to review. Please select only one program at a time. If the program of study listed below is not accurate, please contact your advisor to make a curriculum change. A curriculum change form must be completed to make any changes to a student s program of study. The Registrar s Office has completed audits for catalog years 2009 to present. While older catalog year audits exist from 2005 to 2008, we have not verified their thoroughness or accuracy. No audits are available for Visiting Student programs. Note: It may take a while to generate a program evaluation. Click on an Active Program to monitor your progress. Students pursuing a dual major or a major and certificate will need to evaluate each program separately. After selecting a program, click Submit to see the degree audit. 4) Sample of Undergraduate Degree Audit: Anticipated completion date is an estimate only based on full-time enrollment and no transfer credit. Disclaimers and Important Notices are located at the very beginning and vary by program and school/division. Please be sure to review this information! Program Summary will show (In Progress) until ALL program credits, requirements and courses have been completed and the GPA has been met.

The Required column indicates SU s requirements for completion of credits and GPA. Degree Audit tracks current earned credits and current remaining credits. Anticipated Additional credits reflect courses either In Progress (*IP) or Preregistered (*PR).
