Degree Audit

The Degree Audit (or Degree Progress Audit - DPA) option enables you to review your degree requirements and your current academic progress. It matches your completed courses with the requirements of your degree program. You can also view these details for a hypothetical program that you may want to apply for. The degree audit is an internal document meant solely for advising purposes and is not an official document of your academic record.
