Introduction Degree Works, the Degree Audit System has been upgraded, the upgrade includes new features for students to view their academic progress. This new Responsive Dashboard version brings a mobile friendly student dashboard with a fresh and clean look. This adaptable format displays appropriately across different devices and is ADA compliant for accessibility.

This guide highlights important areas for students with a comparison of where they were found in the classic version of the degree audit in conjunction with this new version.

How to Access DegreeWorks 1. Login to the MyUTRGV student portal using an approved web browser.

• Banner 9 Self-Service Registration is recommended on this web browser:

2. Select the Application ASSIST.

3. Select Student Self Service.

4. Click on Student Profile.

5. The Student Profile landing page is displayed.

6. Click DegreeWorks on the left side menu.


Degree Audit Elements

Student Header The student header provides useful information at the top of the degree audit for viewing.

The student header in the classic dashboard is organized in two columns. It displays important information from different fields such as the student’s name, UTRGV ID, classification, academic program information (college, degree type, major, minor and concentration, if applicable, catalog year), outstanding holds, student cohort, sport if an athlete, assigned academic advisor, if applicable, TSI status, and core complete date, if applicable.

Classic

In the new responsive dashboard, the order of this information is slightly different and only fields with available information will display.

Responsive

Degree Progress Right below the Student Header in the academic audit you will find the student’s progress toward degree.

In the classic view the progress toward degree is displayed as bars and in the responsive view is displayed as wheels.

Degree Requirements The Degree Requirements section lists requirements needed to complete a degree and can be found right below the Degree Progress section in both dashboards. Requirements are also called blocks in DegreeWorks.

Classic

In Responsive Dashboard the degree requirements block is formatted like the classic dashboard with a list of check boxes that state whether requirements have been fulfilled or not.

The audit in Responsive Dashboard is still divided by blocks same as in the classic dashboard but now users will have the ability to collapse sections for quick navigation through to what they are looking for.

The rest of the degree audit is very similar on both dashboards. Blocks as Major Specific Core Curriculum, General Education Core, Major, Concentration, Minor, Teacher Certification, if applicable, are all listed in the same order as the classic dashboard.

Responsive


Elective Classes Allowed and Elective Classes Not Allowed DegreeWorks also displays any additional courses that the student has taken, and they are usually divided between Elective Classes Allowed and Elective Classes No Allowed.

Elective Classes Not Allowed are any courses that exceeds the number of credits for Elective Classes Allowed or do not apply to any requirement in the academic audit.

Students should pay attention to this area, since ‘In-Progress’ courses that appear in this section can affect financial aid eligibility.

In the Responsive Dashboard the Elective Classes Not Allowed block was renamed to Courses Not Fulfilling Degree Requirements.

Classic


Responsive

Legend This new dashboard also comes with an updated Legend of icons that look slightly different from the classic dashboard.

The icons in the classic dashboard are squares while in the responsive dashboard are circles. The colors for each icon are also very similar in both versions. Requirements completed will show in green, requirements not complete will show in red, and requirements with classes in-progress will show in blue.


Classic

The new responsive dashboard now includes a notation of (R) next to a course if the course has been repeated. It also includes a clipboard icon next to a course if the course has a prerequisite.

The legend can be found at the bottom of the audit page.

Responsive

Process New Audit The Process New Audit feature located before the header in the classic dashboard is still available.

Classic

In Responsive Dashboard, the Process New Audit feature is located right below the student header. Users have the option to process new audits with preregistered or in-progress classes or without them.

Responsive


Save Audit Same as in the classic dashboard, users can also save an audit.

Classic

In Responsive Dashboard, the save audit option is shown with a printer icon located at the top right-side corner of the page.

Responsive

Once you click on the icon, the print window will popup. Select the destination (for example, paper printing or save as PDF in your computer).

Doe, John


What-If and Look Ahead Same as in the classic dashboard, the What-if tool allows students, faculty, and staff to apply the students’ courses to different majors and minors whether the courses have been completed or in-progress.

The user must select the catalog year, degree type, major. Some majors also require a concentration and/or a minor.

Be sure to select the approved combinations of major, concentration, minor, and degree type based on the catalog year chosen.

Classic

In the new dashboard, the Look Ahead audit has been combined with the What-If audit to improve efficiency in the user interface.


Responsive

Useful Links The Responsive Dashboard includes quick access to useful links. These are located at the top of the page and they can also be accessed through the navigation bar located on the right top corner of the page.
