You should check your DegreeWorks audit as you get ready to register or check your program progress in preparation for graduation. When reviewing your CT State DegreeWorks audit, please keep in mind:

  • Financial Aid may not be used to pay for classes that are not required in your program.
    • If your current classes appear in the “Not applied to this program” category, that is a problem! Make sure that you have formally declared all the degree and certificate programs you are seeking. You can declare more than two programs! Ask your Advisor or anyone in the OneStop Enrollment Center for more information.
  • Students who are graduating (or planning to graduate) beginning in Fall 2023 should use the CT State Degree Works for their degree audit (available through the myCTState portal).
  • Please be aware that updates to the curricula of certain programs are in the process of being finalized. Therefore,  you may see minor adjustments to your degree audit once your program of study has been updated.
    • You may see some of your past courses appear in the “Not applied to this program” category and your “Program Progress” percentage temporarily drop in your CT State Degree Works audit. We will work with you to apply these courses to your new CT State program either administratively or through the course substitution process as you meet with your advisor or the coordinator of your degree or certificate program.
  • If you have questions about courses not appearing correctly on your audit, please reach out to your Guided Pathways Advisor or Faculty Advisor. The name of your advisor(s) will be listed on your Degree Works audit.
