Degree Works at a Glance
Degree Works is a degree audit software that uses dynamic logic to evaluate what degree requirements a student has completed and what is still needed.
The Audit
The audit is comprised of the header and various blocks that make up the student’s degree requirements.
The Header
At the very top of the audit is the header. Here relevant student data appears. Included is a degree progress bar. The bar is a visual representation of how many requirements the student has met/will meet with their in-progress courses.
The Blocks
For each degree a student pursues, they will see the following blocks: Degree, Newcomb-Tulane Core Curriculum, School Requirements, Major(s), and Minor (if applicable).
The Degree Block drives the audit. It will only be complete if a student has completed all the requirements for the degree, including core, school, and major requirements. Credit, residency, and any cross block requirements (for example, the Freeman GPA are found in this block.
The Newcomb-Tulane Core Curriculum Block covers the core.
Incomplete requirements will show advice that lists courses that fulfill those requirements (courses with a “@” is a wildcard). Clicking on any course still needed will open a window with its current course information.
The School Requirements Block breaks out school specific requirements from the Newcomb-Tulane Core.
The Major Block covers the major’s requirements. Please note, Degree Works cannot enforce the overlap restriction between multiple majors.
At the bottom of the audit, courses that do not apply to specific requirements are collected. Courses counting towards the student’s degree that do not apply to a specific requirement appear in “Other Courses Applying to Degree.” Courses that are insufficient, illegally repeated, or incomplete will appear in “Withdrawn, Failed, & Repeated Courses.” Excluded courses (for example, if a student exceeds 9 credits of non-NTC classes or CDMA in the business school) will fall to “Courses Not Applying to Degree.”
