Graduation

DegreeWorks is an online tool that the University uses to determine if you have met the requirements of your degree for graduation. You can utilize it to see program requirements and track degree progress. DegreeWorks also provides:

• What-If Audit to show how a change of major, minor, concentration or catalog year could impact your degree progress
• Future Classes feature to see if a requirement could be fulfilled
• GPA Calculator to see what is needed to achieve your desired GPA

Although DegreeWorks is a great online tool, it does not replace the need to work with your academic advisor. It is helpful to check your degree worksheet at the end of each term and also when registering for future terms.

• To access DegreeWorks, log in to MyCharlotte, then click on the DegreeWorks icon under Quick Links.

• Deadline: Apply for graduation by the published Graduation Application deadline (listed in the Academic Calendar).
• New & Updated: These instructions apply to new graduation applications only. Refer to the Graduation and Diploma FAQs for updating a graduation application.
• Dual/Triple Degrees, Majors and Certificates: If you are earning more than one degree, major or certificate, a graduation application must be submitted for each program separately. For example, if one pursues a BS in Chemistry and a BA in Biology, those are considered dual degrees and require two separate graduation applications. A BA in both Psychology and Criminal Justice are considered dual majors, and require two separate graduation applications.
• Minors: Minors are automatically attached to the undergraduate degree program and do not require a separate application.
