DegreeWorks: Your Roadmap to Graduation

New Responsive Dashboard! Track your degree progress, plan your schedule, and stay financial-aid eligible with DegreeWorks.

What is DegreeWorks?

DegreeWorks is FSC’s academic advising and degree audit tool. It helps you and your advisor track your progress, see how classes fit your degree, and plan your fastest path to graduation.
DegreeWorks does not replace meeting with your advisor—always review your audit together!

  • View requirements for your major, minor, or concentration
  • Check how completed and in-progress courses count toward your degree
  • Spot what’s still needed and plan for future semesters
  • Review grades, GPAs, and transfer credit usage
  • Create “What-If” audits for changing majors or adding a minor

Financial Aid Tip: All courses must apply to your degree! If you get aid, be sure nothing is in the “Fall Through” area of your audit.
