The Degree Audit provides students with the most up-to-date information about their academic progress, performance, and requirements to graduate. It outlines the general education, math, computer competency, and elective requirements students must complete, as well as any excess credits or credits not accepted towards their declared program. The audit also indicates a student's academic status, placement testing results, progress towards graduation benchmarks, and messages related to graduation eligibility.

be completed with at least a
grade of ‘D’.
Area 08: CGS 1060 is
required for graduation. For
some Pathways, the student
