MyDegree
MyDegree is an undergraduate course planning tool that helps students track their academic progress and degree requirements, from the first semester all the way to graduation. This tool can be used to:
- Determine which degree requirements are left to complete.
- View how planned courses will be used to meet degree requirements.
- Explore how completed and future coursework could be applied towards another program.
Students make the most out of MyDegree, by checking:
- Before registering in courses for the next semester.
- Before meeting with an academic advisor.
- Before applying for graduation.
- After registering to ensure courses are applied towards degree progression.
- After grades are posted.
- After making any changes to a schedule or major.
Registration changes won't be updated in MyDegree until after 24 hours. Remember, students are responsible for meeting the academic requirements listed in the academic calendar under the year students started your program. Don't forget to connect with an academic advisor, at least once a year, to ensure graduation requirements are being met on schedule.
MyDegree will not show any repeats that are currently pre-registered or in progress. Coursework only appears when complete. This platform does not register you in the coursework, you must still follow the usual course registration process.
Watch below for a tutorial on how to use MyDegree. For any questions, reach out to an academic advisor.

Notes:
- The % completion bar is a guideline only. Users must verify individual requirements using the academic calendar. The bar will not read 100% until the degree is conferred. 98% means students are currently on track with current registration, and in progress to meet degree requirements.
