UM Degree Audit was implemented in 2008
System was cumbersome and functionality was inadequate
Recently enhanced in 2011 in order to make it more user-friendly
Custom interface was added in 2013, which included the option of a report that showed “Degree Progress”
The most recent change occurred this year (2014) with the addition of “Degree Completion Percentage.”
The site has had 65,000 hits (20,000 employees and 45,000 students)
Projected uses for Degree Audit: new gateway to graduation and administrative reporting for tracking satisfactory
Should be able to be used to track degree progress and graduation stats.
Should be used for non-academic reporting for the use of various departments/office on campus.
While students can change to other catalogues/majors, this change is unofficial. In order to officially change, it must be changed for them.

-How to Change Catalogues:

1. “New Overview” tab

Color codes include green highlighted courses as courses that have been completed, and courses that are highlighted in white as unfinished courses.
“Academic Work” tab includes earned hours, can be used as unofficial transcript
