FAQs

What is Degree Works?

Degree Works is an online resource that lists all your degree requirements in an easily readable format. All information found in Degree Works can be viewed by you and your academic advising team.

It is an important tool for helping you stay on track for graduation and helps prepare for future registration, as well as any interactions with our academic advising office. You can explore with your advisor different possibilities if you are thinking about making a change to your academic program or need to plan out your academic journey at Regent.

How should I use my audit results?

Degree Works is designed to assist you with future registration planning and will assist you with staying up to date on registration or degree mapping adjustments that you may need to make. We suggest that you review your degree plan in Degree Works every semester so that you are up to date with your progression towards earning your degree.

Once you are confident with your degree audit, you can utilize our self-service registration portal in Genisys to independently view courses and register for any upcoming semester that is open for registration. You may also find our Step By Step Guide to Self-Registration helpful.

Is my Degree Works audit an “official” document?

For all Regent students, the audit in Degree Works is a useful resource to show your progress towards degree completion, but it serves as an unofficial document only. Your academic transcript can be located in Genisys under the Student information section.

Is the degree audit meant to show my degree program plan in sequence?

No, the audit in Degree Works shows you what is required to complete each program of study but does not display when you should take each course. Every student has a different progression based on transfer credits, part-time or full-time enrollment and the unique session or term in which they initially enrolled.

Will I need to apply for graduation?

Yes, you will still need to apply for graduation online by submitting the Graduation Application. While the audit shows you how close you are to graduation, there is no automatic notification from Degree Works to the Office of the University Registrar when you are ready to graduate.
