Purpose
A degree audit lists classes students have taken that fulfill
Core areas and required classes for specific majors and minors.
A degree audit can help in creating an academic plan by showing
students the remaining courses needed to be completed within
a chosen area of study.
Degree Audit is a computer generated profile of a student's
academic work that evaluates requirements for a particular
degree program as well as Core curriculum. It is an advising
tool that will itemize what is required for the completion
of a degree program at USM.
Students can get a copy of their
degree audit through Student Information (WebDSIS) in all USM computer labs, from
the Registrar's Office in Gorham, or from Enrollment Services
in Portland.
