What is a degree audit?
A degree audit is a computerized representation of your progress in a selected degree program. It shows all of the courses and requirements for a degree in a selected program. TRANSIT allows you to request a preliminary (unofficial) degree audit that you can use to see how credits you have earned at other institutions will apply to degree programs you may be interested in.
What's on a degree audit?
A degree audit will provide you with a list of courses you have completed, with the grade and term taken. In addition, it will list any courses and requirements that have not yet been completed.
The degree audit will be divided into categories:
- Student information
- University requirements
- Department requirements
- "Courses Not Applied"
- Last 32 credits
