DegreeWorks, Awesomeness, Guaranteed

In the ever changing world of technology, Universities constantly strive to find new ways of delivering information both efficiently and effectively to students.Various things such as email, blogs, texts, tweets, and facebook messages have been used to try and give students alternative ways of finding info in a format they can rely on and identify with.  (this awesome blog for example)

Enter DegreeWorks

This fantastic tool is something to be utilized by all students regardless of major.  Basically what it does is allow a Tech student to log in using their Tech ID and password. The program itself then generates a report showing all of the classes you have been given credit for here at Tech, and where they will apply toward your degree!

ProTip:  Always hit the process new button at the top. It will give you the latest up to date report.

Want to know how your classes would apply toward the biotech option or a degree in Management?  Run a "what-if" report located on the left side of the screen!

ProTip 2:  If you want degree works to pull the correct info for your biotech option all of the time, you must log into OSCAR and change your program of study to Biotech.

The university now uses this same tool to evaluate your eligibility when you graduate, so it is something to definitely become familiar with and can answer a lot of questions.

As always feel free to ask any questions, or give suggestions for future topics!
