  • Degree Works should only be used to evaluate degree progress for: -Undergraduate students who first entered 食色视频 in Fall 2008 or later -Undergraduate students who have a Catalog Year equal to Fall 2008
  • Degree Works uses a student鈥檚 Catalog Year to determine the set of degree requirements to use when producing a degree audit.
  • The catalog year determines which catalog/degree requirements students follow to obtain a degree. Students/Advisors may update the catalog year to Fall 2008 or later by submitting a 鈥淐atalog Year Update鈥� form to the Registrar鈥檚 Office. This form is located under the 鈥淔orms鈥� section on the Registrar鈥檚 website.

  • Degree Works data is refreshed nightly from the Banner Student Information System. Any modifications made to student data in Banner (i.e. registration, change of major, change of grades, etc.) will be reflected in Degree Works within 24-48 hours.

  • Degree Works adheres to 食色视频鈥檚 repeat polices when producing a degree audit.

    When undergraduate courses taken at 食色视频 are repeated at 食色视频 State University with a higher grade, the highest grade received will be counted in the institutional GPA (previously adjusted GPA) calculations. The student's permanent record and cumulative (Regents) grade point average will retain all course attempts and grades.

    If a student repeats an institutional course as a transfer/transient student and receives a higher grade in the transfer/transient course, the repeated 食色视频 grade will be EXCLUDED from the 食色视频 institutional GPA the next semester the student is enrolled at 食色视频. 

    Repeating Grades: A registered (REGD) undergraduate course that is a repeat of or equivalent to a course already completed will appear in the Insufficient/Withdrawn/Repeated section of the Degree Works audit. If a passing grade is received, but the program requires a higher grade, the registered course will be placed in this section, and the completed course and grade will remain in the audit. The repeat policy will be applied at the end of the term once grades have been posted. The course with the highest grade will then satisfy the degree requirement, provided it meets the minimum grade required for the degree.
