Degree Evaluation Exploring a Student Worksheet

What is a Degree Evaluation A Degree Evaluation helps you to know and plan for program requirements; determining which courses to take and when. Helps you to create a clear path toward program completion. Assists you when working with an advisor to reach goals; track degree progress, prepare for registration and transfers, and plan for graduation. Important: A Degree Evaluation is not an official academic transcript nor is it intended to replace face-to-face meetings with an advisor.

Academic Background Block The Degree Evaluations’ audit uses scribe blocks to evaluate academic progress against the college’s curriculum requirements. The first block in the Worksheet Audit lists your academic background, including placement tests, credits, degree, program, and major. If you are completing multiple degrees, Degree Evaluation lists multiple options in the Degree drop-down menu. The worksheet will display each selected program’s audit individually. If you are pursuing multiple majors within the same program, Degree Evaluation will display both majors’ details on a single audit.

Program Summary Block For the selected program, Degree Evaluation summarizes the percentage of Program Requirements along with the overall Grade Point Average.

Program Requirements Block In the Program Requirements block, the resulting audit lists a summary of complete and incomplete requirements along with instructions for program completion, still needed sections and included blocks. The total number of credit hours, required and applied are also included in the heading bar. Click Still Needed Section and Blocks included hyperlinks to view additional information.

Additional Sections and Blocks Along with program requirements, the worksheet contains sections and blocks for SUNY General Education Requirements, courses currently in progress, ineligible credits, and courses not used (courses that have been taken but do not meet any degree requirement), notes and more. Click a section drop-down arrow to expand or collapse it. Associate in Arts SUNY General Education In-Progress Courses Ineligible Courses Not Used Notes

Developmental Requirements Section This section lists required non-credit courses based on the results of NCC placement tests. For example, you may need to take a class in developmental English, Reading, or Math. Click the still needed hyperlinks to show full course information.

Program Requirements Section This section lists all courses needed to earn a degree in a chosen major. Courses required are displayed in the Still needed section. Click the hyperlinks to review. An @@ attribute prefix means you may take any course with the specified area, level, attribute or subject.

Culture and Diversity Block The Culture and Diversity block is major specific and may or may not display depending on the program of study and if required courses fall into certain areas. For example, the following Course Requirements may appear for an Associate in Arts degree. Note: If a course satisfies two requirements, it only earns credit for one course.

SUNY General Education Block If you are planning to transfer to a SUNY school, the SUNY General Education Block lists all courses that can be transferred and satisfy the SUNY GER (General Education requirements). This block is for informational purposes only and does not relate to the awarding of a degree at NCC.

Electives Block If electives are required for a chosen major, an Electives block displays. The Electives section is comprised of courses that count toward degree and overall credit total, but do not satisfy a specific requirement. Elective credits can vary based on a chosen program of study.

In-Progress Block The In-Progress block lists all currently enrolled courses, with “IP” (In-progress) as the grade until the course is completed and graded. If pre-registered for the next semester, those courses will also appear in the InProgress block. Additionally, the total number of credit hours, and classes applied are included in the heading bar.

Courses Ineligible Courses Ineligible lists courses which were insufficient to meet a specific requirement for a degree, such as coursework not needed for a major, or a failing grade, or W (Official Withdrawal) grade.

Courses Not Used Courses Not Used lists courses that do not apply toward a degree or graduation requirements such as a repeated course. In this audit, the physical education class requirement was waived and not used due to the student’s age (over age 25 at first date of attendance at NCC)

Notes Block Notes from an Advisor appear in the worksheet Notes section.
