Welcome to MyDegree Progress!
Let's pause to see how the component is organized.
The first thing you will notice are the 3 tabs at the top of the page.
At the top of each tab you will see boxes labeled 'Current Academic Objective' and 'Current Academic Summary'.
Let's explore each of these sections.

Each course in the grid uses an enrollment code to indicate the source of the credit; and when applicable, Requirement Designation (GE Area) and Repeat Codes.

Exceptions to requirements, such as approved substitutions and waivers, are identified by a yellow star.

Select the 'View Courses' link
The 'View Courses' link displays a list of all courses that
can be used to satisfy a requirement.


Finally, you can use the buttons at the top of the audit to control what is being displayed.
The default view is "Expand Unmet" to assist you in focusing on what you need to complete to reach graduation.

You can also show or hide detail by using the 'squiggly' arrows located throughout the audit.
