MyDegree is an easy and convenient visual tool to help you course plan and to ensure your degree requirements are being met. It is a self-progression tool that you can use to enhance academic planning discussions.
MyDegree allows you to:
Key times to make use of the tool are:
Remember, you are still responsible for meeting the academic requirements in the academic calendar and following them. 100% completion on the degree progress bars does not necessarily guarantee completion of all requirements.
Using MyDegree
As MyDegree is not a registration tool, you must follow the usual course registration process. Course registration changes can take up to 24 hours to be reflected. If you do not see an up-to-date record after this time, contact Enrolment Services.
MyDegree is only supported in Google Chrome and Firefox browsers.
Check out the video below for a tutorial on how to use the tool:
MyDegree is available to undergraduate students following academic regulations starting with the 2016/17 calendar. (Note: The tool will be available to graduate students in a later phase). At this time, 2015/16 and earlier academic calendars are not available in MyDegree; therefore, program requirements from those years will not be recognized by the platform. Students admitted prior to the 2016/17 academic year can use the tool to perform a "what-if" scenario against newer academic calendar year requirements (see main platform features).
Degree Audits let you know what point you are at in your degree progression and will show your completed courses, courses in progress and courses that you plan to take.
MyDegree automatically loads your coursework and compares it against your program requirements.
To use the degree audit function:
When planning for course registration and to view the outstanding requirement for your degree:

When you have finished entering courses, select Process New to reload your audit with the additional courses.
In the newly loaded look ahead audit, the new courses will display in blue. This look ahead option does not mean you have registered for the courses; rather, this option shows you what your audit could look like once you have registered for those courses.
To return to your degree audit, select Worksheets on the left-hand side.
The What If feature allows you to see how your course work can be applied to other programs at Laurier.
To use the what if function:
To select more than one major, concentration or minor:
To compare future course selections in the same way as the Look Ahead feature:
Once you make your selections for a program to compare against and added any potential future course:
The SEP allows you to view long-term scenarios for your degree completion and confirm whether and courses you've included in your plan will fulfill your degree requirements to ensure you are on track to graduate.
Using the SEP, you can map out course choices for the next four years.
By mapping out your courses, the university can see what courses are in students' plans and have a better idea what courses would be most beneficial to offer. However, this does not guarantee those courses will be offered.
You are encouraged to meet with your academic advisors for assistance as needed. MyDegree is not a replacement tool for academic advisors but rather a tool that advisors can use to enhance discussions about your progress and answer any questions you may have.
For your convenience, academic advisors can have your SEP locked to provide you with a clear understanding of your degree requirements.
To have your SEP unlocked, meet with an advisor to present and discuss your new academic plan.
