Degree Works is available to all degree-seeking students (undergraduate and graduate). Advisors, faculty, and selected staff also have access for the purpose of supporting your progress through your academic career.

A Degree Works degree evaluation is a review of past, current and in-progress coursework that provides information on completed and outstanding requirements necessary to complete a degree or certificate.

Students who are enrolled in two academic programs will be able to view both programs by choosing from the Program drop-down list to the right of their name in the Degree Works display

Yes. Degree Works is accessed through secure login to Banner Web. Once logged in you can access Degree Works by clicking link. Degree Works will open in a new window. It is very important that you log out when you are finished to ensure that your information remains confidential.

Only you and your faculty advisor will be able to see your degree evaluation, other students will not be able to see your degree evaluation unless you let them, or if you fail to logout when you are finished.

No. Degree Works is a snapshot of courses in-progress and in academic history. Registration, add/drop, etc., are still handled through the registration function in Banner Web. However, when you click on a required course (or courses) you will see a window that includes available CRNs for each course.

Yes. Once grades have been processed at the end of the semester, they are viewable in Degree Works following the nightly refresh. Though grades are viewable in Banner Web once posted by an instructor, final grades are not available in Degree Works until after the final grading period for the College has ended. Courses in-progress are listed with an "IP" grade.

No. Degree Works is an unofficial audit of your coursework. It provides an outline of requirements still needed to complete your program of study. An unofficial transcript may be viewed through Banner Web.

Yes. Click on the "Course History" link in the three-dot menu at the top of the Degree Works window for a list of courses taken.

The information in Degree Works is refreshed each night. Any changes made today (e.g., grade changes or classes added/dropped) will be seen in Degree Works tomorrow. Contact an advisor for up-to-date information.

You should consult your faculty advisor and review your degree evaluation with him/her to ensure accuracy.

You cannot update course or curriculum information in Degree Works. If you need to change your major you must complete a Major/Minor/Concentration Change Form  available on the Registrar's Office webpage at www.centenary.edu/registrar/forms.  

Your degree audit will display the courses you've taken and any courses that are in progress. The degree audit will show you any degree requirements that have been met by the courses you've taken or that may be met upon satisfactory completion of courses in progress.

Degree Works uses the information that is current on your transcript. You will be able to view any courses that have been completed, registered for, transferred in by the date your degree evaluation was last refreshed (an overnight process each night). Keep in mind that any transfer work or grade changes that have not been formally submitted and accepted will not appear on your degree evaluation.

Your degree audit will outline the courses still needed to meet degree requirements. You will be able to use this information to discuss your plan with your faculty advisor.

Note: In order to view only the courses still needed, choose the “Registration Checklist” tab in the drop-down box next to the degree progress block.

Yes. By clicking on a course in your degree audit you can view any pre-requisites required, as well as course sections available for the upcoming semester.

Courses from which you have withdrawn will appear in the courses not successfully completed block on your degree audit.

There could be various reasons why information in Degree Works is not up to date. One is that Degree Works may not have been refreshed since a change was made to a student record. Information is refreshed overnight. Second, there could be pending requests that have not yet been processed (course substitution, change of program, etc.) If you have recently submitted an academic request and the change is not reflected in Degree Works, check with the Registrar's Office.

If you have not officially changed your major, submit a Major/Minor/Concentration Change Form.

You can access your second-degree audit by using the Degree dropdown menu at the top of the screen.

It is possible that the course did not meet the minimum number of credits for use in your program of study. Also, all requirements could have been met.

Please contact your advisor to resolve any substitution issues.

A Degree Works audit is merely a tool to help guide you through your degree. Contact your advisor for graduation information.

The "What If" function shows what a degree evaluation would look like with a different program. Your new 'What If' degree evaluation will show you what coursework is required for this major, what courses you have taken that satisfy requirements, and what courses are still left for you to take.

No. 'What If' plans are not saved in Degree Works. You would need to run a new "What If" scenario next time you log in to see it again. You may print a 'What If'.
Note: If you view your 'What If' when your advisor is logged into Degree Works the advisor can save the "What If" to be viewed later.
