Stay On Track
Degree Works is a web-based tool that helps students and advisors track degree progress, explore “what if” scenarios with program changes, and plan for graduation. Students and advisors can see which requirements are completed and which remain. Degree worksheets help plan coursework from first semester through graduation.
Students are responsible for meeting all degree requirements. Degree Works provides tools to make this process easier.

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.
