What information is on the degree audit? The information contained in a degree audit may vary by individual school. Some schools include only all-college requirements and other schools will include all requirements including major, minor and concentration.
A degree audit is an advising document that maps out degree requirements and compares them against your student’s transcript. It is a vital tool for academic planning, course selection, and scheduling and should be used in conjunction with consultation with the student’s academic advisor.
If the department has not completed the request or waiver form, or it has not yet been processed, that course may still show on your student’s audit as a requirement that has not been completed. Your student would then need to follow up to make sure that the request and approval are completed.
The degree audit is an important and helpful tool as your student is planning his courses for the following semester. He can see what he has completed and what he still needs. Then, working with his advisor, he is in a good position to plan his next class schedule.
All students should request an official degree audit as they come close to being within thirty credits of completing their degree. This is an important time to make sure that all required courses have been completed or are planned for the final two semesters. However, for many students this may be too late.
The information contained in a degree audit may vary by individual school.
