DegreeWorks
DegreeWorks is a web-based tool to help students and advisors monitor a student’s progress toward degree completion. DegreeWorks at Snead State is aligned with the Alabama Transfers Guide to help make sure that courses will transfer. DegreeWorks combines the Snead State’s degree requirements and the coursework completed into an easy-to-read worksheet that helps students and advisors see how completed courses count toward degree requirements. DegreeWorks is designed to aid advising, but is not intended to replace face-to-face advising sessions.
The degree audits produced by DegreeWorks are dependent on a student’s program of study/pathway. Information is extracted from the student’s OneACCS portal into DegreeWorks on a nightly basis. DegreeWorks audits are used for graduation evaluations, so students and advisors should know at any time where the student is in relation to completing their degree or certificate.
