Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have questions about DegreeWorks? Below are some FAQs to help you understand certain terminology and processes.

Degree Works audit is an unofficial advising and planning tool. It is not your official academic transcript nor is it your official confirmation of degree completion.

An elective is any semester credit hours accepted by UTSA during the transfer process or awarded by UTSA that, for degree purposes, are not applied to Core Curriculum, major, minor, or support work requirements.

A notation of (R) next to a course means that the course has been repeated.

Not counted courses are coursework that is not counted toward graduation requirements. This includes developmental courses as well as attempts that exceed a limit, and duplicate courses.

Courses fall into this category because they do not meet a rule somewhere in your degree plan. It can be a minimum grade rule, or a maximum number of hours allowed (such as the 66-hour limit on community college courses).

The courses you are registered for count towards your hours in Degree Works. However, the hours do not count towards earned hours for registration purposes.

Contact your academic advisor to discuss.

IP stands for “In-progress” and will display under the grade column for any course that you are currently enrolled for.

In-progress courses are courses that you are enrolled in and taking for the current term.

Preregistered courses are courses that you are enrolled in for a future term. For example, if it is currently the Spring term and you register for Fall term courses, the Fall courses are considered preregistered.

In addition to the listed core and major requirements, all students must meet general requirements to graduate. Most students need at least 120 hours of college credit and 39 hours of upper-division courses to graduate, some majors require more.

Review your degree block in DegreeWorks to find out how many you need. If you have satisfied all your core and major requirements, but your degree block shows you need additional hours, this means you need to take electives to reach the minimum number of hours required for your degree.

DegreeWorks uses a “best fit” approach for meeting requirements, so classes may apply to different sections as you take more courses.

Also, some requirements need multiple classes or credits to be considered complete (ex. History core requires two courses). So even though you have taken a course to fulfill the requirement, one or more classes or credits may still be needed. If you have further questions, please contact your academic advisor.

The requirements dial reflects the completion of the requirements for the degree including course requirements, GPA requirements, and non-course requirements. As such, the percentage increases as you meet various requirements. It should be used as a general guide, not an indicator of how many courses have been completed.

The credits dial reflects the total number of semester credit hours completed divided by the total credits required for the declared degree. Each usable course will increase the percentage, even if the course can only be counted as an elective. This dial includes completed, in progress, and planned courses.

The percentage is not based solely on courses taken and passed. Meeting minimum requirements are factored in as well (such as being in good standing, taking the last 24 of 30 hours at UTSA, being core complete, etc.).

Also, if you are pursuing a pre-major, then it may only have courses listed on the audit that are required for pre-majors to take before they can declare their major.

The degree progress is a tool that takes the total number of checked boxes on your audit, and calculates a percentage based on the number of boxes checked. The degree progress will not show 100% completion until you have completed all of your in-progress courses and earned passing grades.
