Abstract
Weber State University's Degree Audit system is accessible across campus and is used to advise students, as well as to evaluate program progress for degree candidacy. Departments have access to screens where they electronically input program requirement waivers, substitutions and/or exceptions. They also use the Degree Audit screens to clear or sign off students. Advisors can perform "what if" functions for students who are trying to decide among two or more majors. By printing several programs of study or Degree Audits, the student can determine the courses needed to complete any program, compared with courses in the system they have already completed, and which are stored in their electronic transcript file. The Degree Audit system reduces confusion about program requirements for students, and reduces time and the problem of misadvisement for faculty advisors. Secretarial work/time is reduced significantly because memos are no longer sent between departments and the Graduation Office.
