Frequently Asked Questions
An Audit in DegreeWorks is a review of past, current, and “planned” course work that provides information on completed and outstanding requirements necessary to complete a degree or certificate/program of study. The audit is divided into blocks of requirements that include Degree, General Education, and Program Requirements. Each block works like a checklist that has boxes that are automatically checked when a requirement is met.
AP scores and transfer work are received and credit is posted, that information is added to your student record and will appear on the audit.
Information on how to get your AP scores posted can be found through Credit for Prior Learning.
Information on how to transfer credit to SLCC from another institution can be found through the Transfer Evaluation Office.
The degree progress percentage counts all checked circles in the degree and program requirements blocks towards the completed degree completion, not as a measure of credits completed.
Contact your academic advisor with any additional questions.
If you are concerned about a missing transfer course that should be applying in the audit, please ensure the following:

Not necessarily. You are still required to apply for graduation. Upon receipt of a graduation application, the Graduation Office will evaluate the audit to determine eligibility for graduation and will notify you of the result.
