CHECK PROGRESS TOWARD DEGREE

DegreeWorks Student Manual
  • Log into myCayuga
  • Click Student Services → Student Records → Degree Evaluation
    If the degree listed is not correct, contact the Centers for Student Engagement and Academic Advisement to request a change of major.
  • Your degree evaluation is broken into several blocks that help you understand the degree requirements. The degree block will list your degree requirements. Students enrolled in an A.A. or A.S. program will see a section titled Gen Ed Requirements. These students must complete all Gen Ed Requirements to receive an A.A. or A.S. degree. Refer to the College Catalog for a list of approved Gen Ed courses.
  • Students matriculated in a program concentration will see a section for concentration requirements.
  • The legend at the bottom of the degree evaluation will help you to interpret and understand your degree evaluation. A green check mark next to a degree requirement means that the requirement has been met. A blue tilde (~) means the course or requirement is in progress. An empty check box means the course or requirement has not yet been met. Any of the blue hyperlinks can take you to more information. There are also notes within the degree evaluation that you should pay attention to when reviewing requirements.
  • Refer to the College Catalog for course descriptions and elective categories.
