Graduation

DegreeWorks is an online tool that the University uses to determine if you have met the requirements of your degree for graduation. You can utilize it to see program requirements and track degree progress. DegreeWorks also provides:

• What-If Audit to show how a change of major, minor, concentration or catalog year could impact your degree progress
• Future Classes feature to see if a requirement could be fulfilled 
• GPA Calculator to see what is needed to achieve your desired GPA

Although DegreeWorks is a great online tool, it does not replace the need to work with your academic advisor. It is helpful to check your degree worksheet at the end of each term and also when registering for future terms.

• To access DegreeWorks, log in to MyCharlotte, then click on the DegreeWorks icon under Quick Links.
