Degree Audit

The Degree Audit link of Degree Audit allows advisors to evaluate a student’s transcript against the audit program(s) assigned to the student in CAMS Enterprise.
Step-By-Step: View a Student’s Degree Audit

1. Click the My Students link in the navigation bar then select a student from the Advisee List or one of your courses for the current term displayed in the upper left corner of the Faculty Portal.

2. Click Select to open the Student Options page for a student.

3. Click Degree Audit >Detail to open the degree audit program for which the student is evaluated against. Credits Required displays how many credits are required for the degree, and Credits Completed displays how many credits the student has completed towards that program.

Note: An asterisk in the Report column, next to the word detail, denotes that the student’s degree audit must be updated before it displays. This can take several minutes. The update flag is set any time there is a change to the student’s transcript maintenance, such as when the student registers for a class or receives a grade. Since Degree Audit considers all changes to a student’s official courses (even courses not applied to the audit, which would be in an elective group), any change in a student’s official courses will cause the audit to require reevaluation.

4. Click Detail to display details about the requirements, including the status of the requirement, a list of each class, the grade earned for the class, the status of the class in relation to the evaluated program, and the status of each group in the requirement.

The Grade Met By column displays the actual courses that satisfied the requirement. These could be the same course, a transfer course, an equivalent course, or a mapped course. If there are options in how the student can take the listed classes a Formula link displays.

5. Click the Formula link to see the options.
