The Degree Audit Portlet
The Degree Audit portlet provides information to users (registrar, dean, advisor, or student) who are performing a degree audit for a student to verify that the student is on track for graduation. While the Degree Audit portlet is similar to the Course Needs portlet, it provides a more detailed view of what the student needs to complete their selected program. Required courses, categories, and other requirements are displayed, indicating how many credits will be earned to complete the requirement as well as the current status of the requirement. If the requirement is a category or group requirement, you can view those elements that compose the category or group requirement. For each course requirement, you can view any current course offerings that would satisfy the requirement.
