On October 1, 2012, students who entered the university Fall, 2009 and later gained access to DegreeWorks (DW) through AppalNet. DegreeWorks is a comprehensive, easy-to-use, web-based academic advising and degree audit tool that assists students and their advisors successfully navigate curriculum requirements.
DegreeWorks allows both students and advisors to view the student's academic record filtered into the program of study for all majors and minors. Degreeworks provides 24-7 access to:
- a full description of specific requirements for the student.
- an easy way to see what requirements are not yet met.
As with any student data, faculty should access this information only for legitimate educational reasons, and all information must remain confidential as required by FERPA regulations.
The College of Fine and Applied Arts will use DegreeWorks as the primary record of the approved Program of Study. Majors and minors that require contracts or advisor approval of particular courses should be submitted to the dean's office as soon as possible.
Students with required minors/second academic concentrations or who intend to pursue a minor as an elective course of study should officially declare their minor so DegreeWorks can reflect those requirements.
