Degree Works – the online tool that makes it easier to chart your university career.
Today’s tip is very simple and straightforward. Underneath the personal information block (“Student View”) of near the top of the screen (where all of your information is located) there is a Progress Bar, that supposedly tracks your progress toward completion.
Many people – including many advisers – get confused by this.
So, Pro Tip #3: Completely ignore this progress bar. It is meaningless. If you want to know your progress, you can check one of two things:
• “Overall credits,” in the “Student View” block, tells you how many credits you have actually completed. This does not include the credits you are taking this current semester.
• “Credits applied” includes the classes you are currently enrolled in (and assumes you will pass all of them).
