Degree Works is how you keep track of the completion of your degree. Here is some key information you should know.

Ìý

  • Learn how to use Degree Works

    You may access Degree Works through the portal using your Midas credentials. The tool pulls the academic information available to 91ÖÆƬ³§ through our database, and populates a degree requirement summary for your intended or declared major. It is the responsibility of the student to verify that the data is current.

  • Complete any missing information

    Incomplete information should be provided to the proper 91ÖÆƬ³§ office for data population.

  • Check if there is any incorrect information

    Incorrectly applied information should be communicated to your advisor.

  • Review your Program Progress status bar

    The Program Progress status bar is right above the legend. This will show how far you are from completing your degree. The BSCS degree will be conferred when the status reaches 100%.

Planning your current classes for the upcoming semesters at 91ÖÆƬ³§ is a necessity to completing your degree on time. Here is some useful information for creating a Degree Plan.

Helpful Resources

  • Evaluating credits from VCCS or 4-year university

    Courses that are a part of VCCS or 4-year university will have an evaluation on record. This includes in-state and out-of-state universities. The course will be equivalent to a specific course(s) at 91ÖÆƬ³§, or will be awarded elective credit (ELE).

  • Courses that are awarded elective (ELE) credit

    The courses that are awarded ELE credits have been evaluated and determined to have no 91ÖÆƬ³§ course equivalency or have not been previously evaluated by a department at 91ÖÆƬ³§.

  • Requesting a reevaluation of an ELE credit

    Student who suspect that a course transferred to 91ÖÆƬ³§ (TP) with an ELE equivalency may request an evaluation. The evaluation must be performed by the Department that offers the course, and the result will be:

    Courses that need to be satisfied:

    • CS 150: Laboratory work required. Introduction to computer-based problem solving and programming in C++.
    • CS 170: Fundamentals of the architecture and operation of modern computers.
    • CS 250: Laboratory work required. Design issues arising in software systems and C++ programming techniques aiding in their solution.
    • CS 270: Fundamentals of the architecture and operation of modern computers.
