Degree Audits

We love DW! 

DW is short for Degree Works.  Students who are using Degree Works love it and we think you will too.  

Degree Works audits are designed to assist you with planning and tracking your progress toward graduation by comparing your academic record against the requirements for your degree. Your completed FIT courses, transfer credit, and in-progress courses are included in your degree audit. 

Your audit is a tool to track your progress towards graduation and it is your responsibility to review and confirm your audit is accurate before and after registering for classes.

Degree audits can be accessed in MyFIT.

Understanding Degree Works Audits

  • The audit is divided into blocks listing requirements and conditions necessary for completion of a degree program.

    • Completed courses/requirements are indicated by a green check mark. 
                    
    • In progress courses/requirements are indicated by a blue half circle. 
                    
    • Missing courses/requirements are indicated by an open red circle.

  • The Excess Courses Not Applied to this Degree block lists elective courses that do not apply to your current major requirements.

  • The Insufficient Grades block lists courses that do not apply to degree requirements because the courses do not have passing grades.

  • If you hover over any course number with your mouse, the name and credit hours for the course will display. 

  • Degree Works is updated every 15 minutes.  Any changes made (e.g., grade changes or classes added/dropped) may not appear until you wait 15 minutes, and log back into Degree Works.

  • Be sure to check your audit before and after registering. Before registering for your final semester, use the Registration Checklist option to see only missing requirements.   

  • After registering for your final semester, check your degree audit to confirm you are registered for all of the degree requirements.   When the only missing requirement/red circle under the heading of your
    degree program (Degree in XX) is the Graduation Application, then it is time to apply for graduation

If you are a student in a graduate program, contact your major department about your degree audit.

Although every effort is made to ensure the information on the degree audit is correct, it is your responsibility to review the audit and confirm its accuracy, successfully complete in-progress courses, and register for the proper sequence of courses to satisfy degree requirements.
