Degree Audit

The degree audit (also referred to as Universal Tracking-UT) is an online electronic system that monitors the progress of all undergraduate majors toward graduation. The degree audit helps students find the best academic path to complete their degree, provides academic advice for choosing the most appropriate major as soon as possible, and provides feedback each semester on academic progress. Students with questions concerning the degree audit should speak with their academic advisor.

Students may view their degree audit by visiting Student Self Service and clicking on Degree Audits under My Online Services (left hand menu).

How to Read the Degree Audit

The degree audit has several sections. The first section consists of the Critical Tracking (pre-professional) courses and a plan of study.  The second section, which is the most important, monitors the courses you’ve taken towards the degree and the grades you’ve received. The third section consists of requirements that capture certain information, i.e. if the summer requirement was satisfied.

Within these sections, there are requirements. A dashed horizontal line separates the requirements. Courses do not necessarily appear in chronological order, but appear grouped according to categories, i.e. pre-professional. Requirements can contain several subrequirements.

To read the degree audit, it is important to understand the indicators used and to denote the status of a particular requirement. Indicators are listed below and denoted within quotation marks.
