Degree Audit

The student degree audit is a tool for undergraduate students to review completed and outstanding degree requirements. The audit is coded with the requirements for all Engineering degrees and majors and all Liberal Arts degrees and concentrations. Due to the wide number of courses that can be used to complete the International Relations major requirements, students with a major in Intl. Relations will not see those major requirements on their audit. Students can use the tool to see their progress towards their degree completion in their declared major(s) or concentration(s) or check their progress using different majors to help them decide if they want to change their field of study. Additionally, it can be used to help students plan their course load for each Fall or Spring semester as well as plan how to complete their requirements across their time at Tufts. Students can send comments to their advisors to receive feedback about their planned schedule or to communicate about their progress towards their degree completion.

Advisors can use the audit to have meaningful conversations with their advisees regarding progress towards degree completion. The student degree audit shows the general degree requirements and major/concentration requirements, while indicating the courses that the student has already completed. Students can create a plan for completing their requirements and share it with their advisor prior to their advising meeting each semester. Advisors can share comments back and forth with each advisee to make suggestions based on their schedules and the overall completion of their degree requirements.
