  1. What is DegreeWorks? DegreeWorks is similar to the Advisement Data Sheet but has more features. It is a web-based advisement tool which can be used as a road map towards students’ graduation. DegreeWorks matches students’ academic and course history against the degree requirements as defined in the College Bulletin. It can also provide specific guidance on recommended future course requirements. Advisors can use the tool to evaluate students' progress and alignment of their program of study to their academic and career goals. Who has access to DegreeWorks? Any matriculated student who has been enrolled within the last year has access to DegreeWorks. Revision Date: 11/14/2007 [Slide Number: 1]
