Using the Worksheet Audits

Your DegreeWorks report is divided into various sections and is intended to be read from the top down. Each section contains a specific set of requirements as defined in the official catalog for your degree, major, etc. The Student Header is the first section on the report and contains various academic information. The next section is called the Degree section and contains graduation requirements. The audit lists the overall requirements to earn your degree including core and major requirements. Refer to the individual blocks or sections for details on your specific remaining and satisfied requirements. In-progress courses are listed within the appropriate requirement block and toward the bottom of the audit.  

As you scroll down the report, notice that each section is divided into two columns. The left column lists all requirements and the right column lists the completed or in-progress courses being applied to satisfy the requirements. If a requirement is unmet, a list of the applicable courses are displayed and an unchecked box ( ) is displayed to the left of the requirement(s). Note that all requirements are taken directly from the Fall 2010 or later catalog. If you are following an earlier catalog your specific requirements may be different. 

Once all the requirements are met a check mark ( ) or double squiggle mark ( ) is displayed to left of the Degree title meaning you have unofficially satisfied all of your degree requirements and should apply for graduation. Please refer to the legend at the bottom of your report for the symbol definitions.

Student Header: Contains current status information, including Name, Student ID, Classification (freshman / sophomore), Alamo Colleges GPA , College / Degree, Major, TSI status, Academic Status, Holds and if you are a Honors student or a Veteran with benefits. 

Progress Bars – These graphics show the progress toward degree completion. The percentage shown in the Requirement bar is calculated from the blocks designated as “complete” within an audit, not actual degree completion. The Credit bar shows progress toward completion of the credits required for the certificate or degree. 

Graduation Checklist:  At the beginning of the audit, all of the requirements are listed in a single section. As requirements are fulfilled, the boxes next to each requirement are checked off. 

Core Curriculum (AA / AS / AAT): The core course requirements that all students must take, which may vary to a slight degree depending on Degree. Each core area is divided into blocks with a list of all the courses that fulfill the requirements of the respective areas. 

Major Requirements (all degrees): The courses listed in this block include degree requirements specific to the major.  For AAS degrees, all courses are listed in this block. Some majors require that students may be referred to their advisor for assistance and/or approval in selecting courses in the Major Requirements block. 

Courses Not Counted Toward Degree Requirements: A listing of duplicate courses (if there are duplicates, the program will automatically select the one with a higher grade and/or more credit hours) or transfer courses for which there is no exact equivalency. 

Insufficient: Listing of courses where grade earned is not a passing grade.

Not Counted:  Developmental courses.

In-Progress: A listing of courses where grade is not yet earned.

Alamo GPS looks at your program holistically, and places each course using a "best fit" scenario. The "best fit" process will not always be perfect, particularly when multiple possibilities exist. Classes may apply to different sections as you take more courses. Courses that are listed under the Courses Not Applied to Degree or Insufficient blocks do not meet any of the program requirements. If you have a course that does not appear in the area in which you expected, please contact your advisor for assistance.
