What is a degree audit report?
|
|
The degree audit is an automated report reflecting the student's academic progress toward the completion of a degree. The student may request a degree audit for their major. In addition, "What If" reports may be requested for other majors the student may be considering. The report automatically places the student's UMKC course work, transfer courses and courses in progress within a series of requirements and sub-requirements for a specific degree program.
|
|
Does the degree audit replace the academic adviser?
|
|
No. The degree audit report is a tool used by both academic advisers and students. The student should not rely on the degree audit without consulting with his or her academic advisers. The Registration and Records Office and the academic advisers make every effort to maintain accurate degree audits; however, there are quite often exceptions to be entered for individual students. The degree audit cannot replace one-on-one contact with the student's academic adviser.

How is transfer work from another institution used in the degree audit report?
|

The report shows how transfer work that has been entered in Pathway will apply toward your degree requirements.

How do I find courses to complete the requirements?
|
Courses that will fulfill a requirement can be found within the requirement, by speaking to your academic advisor, or on the Major Maps Site for the degree program.
