The degree audit in Degree Works is a curriculum evaluation separated into different blocks of requirements, such as the general education, major, minor, concentration, and other requirements for a specified degree program and catalog year. Each block within the audit works as a checklist with boxes that are automatically checked when a requirement is met, based on your completed, currently enrolled, or future registration.   

Degree Works allows you to:   

We recommend that you review your degree audit regularly, at least four times each semester:   

There are two different formats to view the degree audit in Degree Works: Student View and Registration Checklist. By default, the Student View will display when accessing the audit. The Student View provides a comprehensive checklist of the student’s degree requirements. The Registration Checklist format provides a simplified view of the classes still needed to fulfill the student’s outstanding requirements.   

Additionally, a What-If audit is available. This can be used to view how your completed credits would fit into a new major, minor, concentration, etc.   

The What-If feature within Degree Works can be used to view how completed classes would contribute towards the completion of a different major, minor, or concentration should you decide to make a change. This view is for planning purposes only. Contact your advisor to discuss any desired change in detail and for support with the Change of Major form.   

Registration will still be completed by the student in Brave Web, after meeting with your advisor. Degree Works does provide you the opportunity to plan your future schedule using “Planner.”   

Contact your advisor to discuss any desired program changes in detail and for support with the Change of Major form.  

The information in Degree Works is refreshed nightly. Changes made to your record today will reflect tomorrow, this includes grade changes, registration changes, major changes, substitutions, waivers, etc.    

If a change has been made to a student’s information in Banner and the student or advisor would like to see this change in Degree Works on the same day, advisors can use the Refresh Data button to manually refresh the information prior to the overnight refresh.  

Your grades and GPA will update after end of term processing is complete each semester. Information is refreshed in Degree Works automatically overnight.  

You can find your GPA in several places on your degree audit. Your Cumulative GPA is in the Degree Audit Progress section toward the top of your audit. Separately, you will see your major GPA in the major block.   

Degree Works provides several GPA calculators. Select GPA Calculator from the ellipsis menu in the top right corner of the degree audit. This link will open a new window with three different GPA calculators described below.  

Note: If this is your first semester at UNCP, you will not get accurate information using these calculators as you will not have a current GPA until your final grades post. 

Each of the blocks within the degree audit will display where completed courses fulfill specific requirements. You can see a list of completed courses, including transfer coursework, in Course History.    

Courses from which you have withdrawn will appear in the “Insufficient” block at the bottom of the degree audit with a W grade.   

You will see any in-progress or preregistered courses within the degree audit and at the end in the In Progress and Preregistered block.  

The Degree Works audit is an unofficial advising and planning tool that provides academic information related to your degree requirements and progress. It is not your official academic transcript nor is it your official confirmation of degree completion.   

Your transcript is your official university academic record and provides a chronological list of courses completed and other academic information. You may request as official transcript at https://www.uncp.edu/resources/registrar/transcript-ordering-portal.   

Approved exceptions will appear on the degree audit in gold font “Exception by: Registrar” and the date processed. You will need to Process a new audit to see the update. If still not visible, contact your advisor to determine the status of the request.   

Exceptions and substitutions previously applied in uAchieve are being manually applied to all applicable degree audits in Degree Works. If you see a course that was previously applied but is not currently, please contact your advisor to submit a request to the Registrar’s Office.  

The Registrar's Office is manually updating all previously applied exceptions, substitutions, and waivers in to Degree Works. We thank you for your patience as we work through each individual record. Substitutions received after July will be applied in the Degree Works degree audit only, not uAchieve. 

In addition to satisfying the degree requirements presented in the degree audit, an application for graduation/degree conferral is required by the deadline published in the academic catalog or at the completion of 75 undergraduate credits.
