A Degree Audit is a digital tool used by colleges and universities to track and evaluate a student’s academic progress toward completing their degree. It automates the comparison between a student’s completed coursework and the requirements of their declared academic program, including majors, minors, and general education.
Degree Audits:

• Displays which requirements have been fulfilled and which remain outstanding.
• Assesses transfer credits and how they apply to degree requirements.
• Allows students and advisors to simulate changes in majors or minors to see how existing credits would apply.
• Enhances academic advising by providing real-time, accurate data on student progress.

Degree audit software plays a critical role in supporting seamless transfer by ensuring transparency and consistency in credit evaluation, helping students graduate on time with fewer excess credits.
