天美麻花星空高清mv recently introduced remarkable new software that makes it easier than ever before for students to plan their path to graduation. Degree Works provides an easy-to-read, ongoing review that shows what courses students have completed, and what鈥檚 up next. This 鈥渄egree audit鈥� software is customized to each individual鈥檚 needs, and informs them of every available option to fulfill the requirements that remain ahead, so that they may choose what鈥檚 best for them.

鈥淪ince decisions like choosing or changing a major have an important impact on financial aid, or how long a student spends in getting a degree, Degree Works includes a 鈥榃hat If鈥� feature, letting students 鈥榯est-drive鈥� different hypothetical situations to see the long-term effects, based on their actual current status,鈥� explained Monica Joslin, dean of academic affairs. 鈥淭his helps students make the most fully informed decisions about their choice of program.鈥�

Degree Works also makes course registration easier by showing real-time updates regarding availability, and when students are signing up for the next semester鈥檚 classes. The 鈥淟ook Ahead鈥� feature shows exactly how each course a student is considering would fit into their overall progress toward the degree, helping to ensure they are choosing courses strategically.

According to Lisa Milanesi, assistant registrar and coordinator of academic schedules and curriculum, the interactive nature of Degree Works allows students to click on live data that indicates if and when a course will be offered in the next semester, and if seats are left.

鈥淒egree Works also allows a student to project how a potential change in major would affect their progress toward graduation. It places their current course history into a new audit with the proposed new major,鈥� Milanesi explained.

She continued, 鈥淚n addition, GPA calculators help both students and advisers project a student鈥檚 future GPA.  This is particularly useful for student athletes who need to maintain a certain GPA, or for students who intend to apply to grad school, which may require a particular GPA."

This semester, potential transfer students will cease to receive a 鈥渢ransfer credit analysis.鈥� Instead, they will get a degree audit that shows the courses required for their programs, as well how each of their transfer courses will be applied to their specific program. 

Last fall, Milanesi, along with Gerol Petruzella, associate director of academic technology, rolled out training to all faculty, and offered one-on-one sessions to professors and administrators. Petruzella developed eight tutorial videos on the software鈥檚 features for faculty, advisors, and staff, and he continues to offer additional training.

鈥淭he more well-informed an advisor is about a student鈥檚 situation, the better positioned they are to give meaningful, effective advice and support to that student,鈥� Petruzella said. 鈥淒egree Works puts a student鈥檚 whole academic record at an advisor鈥檚 fingertips in a single, easy-to-read format. It gives the advisor a sense of the student鈥檚 aims, progress, and trajectory, to help make sure the student鈥檚 choices are best focused on their specific path to success.鈥�

Funding for Degree Works was acquired through a federal Title III grant aimed at supporting student success and retention. For more information about Degree Works, go to .
