The DegreeWorks audit 'reads' all courses completed or accepted in transfer at Belmont and shows how those courses have been applied toward your your chosen degree, major and minor according to the catalog requirements for the year in which you entered Belmont. The report can be viewed online or printed out to be used as a snapshot of where you stand relative to graduation requirements.
Your academic advisor is your first point of contact with questions about your audit. An advisor can answer questions you may have and advise you about your course substitutions and waivers that may be needed.
Questions about Degree Works can also be submitted using the link at the bottom of this page.
YES! Your academic advisor will use the DegreeWorks report in the process of advising you about your program. Degree Works does not take the place of your advisor. You are required to meet with your advisor every semester to review your degree progress. Your advisor will lift your advising hold (which is mandatory prior to registration).
