Degree Works

DegreeWorks is an online tool designed to assist students and their advisors in successfully navigating curriculum requirements.  It is a web-based degree audit, academic advising, and transfer articulation tool. DegreeWorks reviews courses from a student's transcript (which is arranged chronologically) and reorganizes them so advisors and students can see completed and remaining degree requirements by category. For more information on what DegreeWorks can do for you, please view the introductory video.

Important Note : DegreeWorks is designed to aid and facilitate academic advising, but is not intended to replace face-to-face advising sessions. It is neither an official academic transcript nor an official notification of completion of degree requirements. It is intended to assist students in reaching their academic goals, as shown in the introductory video.

DegreeWorks for the ISU campus is currently in the implementation phase. Faculty, advisors, and undergraduate College of Business, Physical Education, Social Work, Sociology, Psychology, English, Registered Nursing, Emergency Management, Fire Service Administration, Geomatics, and Respiratory Therapy students with a catalog year of 2010 or later now have access to Degree Works. If your college is not active in DegreeWorks, please contact your department and let them know that you would like DegreeWorks to be available for your major.
