DegreeWorks is a front end for information in the Banner student data system, so DegreeWorks displays only what is recorded as the official program(s).  The information is updated each night, and so changes made today will be available for view the following morning

To add/change majors, minors, concentrations, or catalog year,  work with your advisor to submit the appropriate Change of Major/Minor/Catalog Year Form.

Notify the the appropriate staff member in the Dean's Office with specific information including the student's name, major, Banner ID, what the error is and where on the audit it was noticed.

It may be necessary to substitute course(s) for students due to extenuating circumstances. This may enable the student to meet degree requirements. The Dean’s Office requires written notice (email) from the department chair or designee for each substitution made on student’s degree audit. Students who fail to meet all published degree requirements will not be approved for graduation by the Dean’s Office.

Each program is listed on a separate audit screen.  To change screens use the Degree pick-list near the top of the screen as illustrated below.  If the second program is not there, the second program may not have been declared or approved yet.  

Yes, when the student has chosen their theme, this collapses the General Education block considerably.

Themes can be selected in the student's AppalNet > Self-Service tab > Student tab > General Education Theme Selection.

Some course sections will offer a waitlist option to students who can sign up for via AppalNet once the section is closed.  The purpose of waitlisting is to allow students the ability to easily monitor courses they need that are closed without having to frequently check back on AppalNet. 

Waitlisting will not be available for every course and being on a waitlist for a section does not guarantee the student will get a seat in that course. 

Students inquiring about VA benefits and / or credit for military service should be referred to the School Certifying Official in the Student Financial Aid Office.

Students inquiring about veteran programs and policies as well as activities that facilitate the transition from military to the campus and Boone community should be referred to the Coordinator of Student Veteran Services.

Students who wish to take courses at another collegiate institution must seek approval from Appalachian State University PRIOR to enrollment at the other institutions. Failure to secure prior approval may result in the course(s) not being accepted by Appalachian.

Students who drop out and then return to the university will have their credit reviewed for applicability. Any credit earned more than 10 years prior to the date of re-entry is considered to be expired and may not be used for meeting degree requirements unless it has been approved. 

The old credit must be reviewed for approval by the Office of General Education, the major department and the minor department (if applicable). Any course not approved for use towards a degree must be taken again for credit.
