Degree Works is a Web-based tool that allows students and advisors to perform instantaneous tracking of progress towards degree completion, perform “what if” scenarios with proposed changes/additions/deletions to programs of study, and develop academic plans for the future.

Students and advisors are able to see at any time what course requirements for a degree have been met and which ones still remain. The degree worksheets are available to all students, so coursework for the degree can be planned from the first semester right up to the last semester and graduation.

Students should remember that they are ultimately responsible for knowing and satisfying all of the requirements for a degree. Degree Works provides the tools to make this process easier.

What Does It All Mean?

Degree Works looks at the program requirements of the Presbyterian College catalog and the coursework you have completed to produce an easy-to-read audit. When you log into Degree Works, the degree worksheet will be the first thing you see.

The worksheet is divided into block requirements of how courses were taken or proposed count toward
program requirements. Checkboxes exist within each block to easily outline completed course work as well as those registered for the current and any future terms. You will also find your cumulative GPA, block GPA (General Education, Major, Minor, Concentration), and the courses you still need to earn your degree.
