Degree Audit

 

Student's academic progress is monitored automatically by a degree audit. The data on the degree audit is based on the Registrar's transcript file. Since the degree audit is used to certify graduation, it is essential that you review your degree audit each term to ensure that the records are accurate. You can access your degree audit through ISIS.

If a discrepancy is found or if there is a question concerning the audit, you should speak with an academic advisor in the ECE Student Services Office, 230 Larsen Hall, for clarification and resolution of the problem.

How to Read the Degree Audit

The degree audit has several sections. The first section consists of the Critical Tracking (pre-professional) courses and a plan of study. The second section, which is the most important, monitors the courses you've taken towards the degree and the grades you've received. The third section consists of requirements that capture certain information, i.e. if the summer requirement was satisfied.

Within these sections, there are requirements. A dashed horizontal line separates the requirements. Courses do not necessarily appear in chronological order, but appear grouped according to categories, i.e. pre-professional. Requirements can contain several subrequirements.

To read the degree audit, it is important to understand the indicators used and to denote the status of a particular requirement. Indicators are listed below and denoted within quotation marks.

Requirement Indicators

Requirement indicators appear in the top left corner of the requirement.

" X " indicates that you have not satisfied all the elements of a requirement

"IP" means In Progress and indicates that you are completing the elements of the requirement this term

Subrequirement Indicators

Subrequirement indicators appear to the left of the subrequirement.
