MyDegree is an easy and convenient visual tool to help students with course planning and to ensure degree requirements are being met. It is a self-progression tool that you can use to enhance academic planning discussions.
MyDegree allows you to track the courses you’ve taken against your program requirements to see what parts of your program you’ve completed. In addition, it lets you determine how courses you plan on taking will be used towards completing your degree requirements. You can also explore how your completed and future coursework could be applied towards another program at the university.
MyDegree will set you up for success in your academic planning. Key times to make use of the tool are:
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).
As MyDegree is not a registration tool, you will need to 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.
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. To use the degree audit function:
Note:

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:
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, simply meet with an advisor to present and discuss your new academic plan.
