DegreeWorks in MyISU for Students

Description 
DegreeWorks is ISU's degree audit resource. It helps you and your advisor create a semester-by-semester plan and track your progress toward earning your degree. It is also a valuable tool to assist you if you are considering a major change or adding a new degree. It's important to remember that DegreeWorks is a tool and should not replace consultations with academic advisors. It is highly recommended that you meet with your advisors and review the information provided by DegreeWorks.
  • Note:  DegreeWorks only includes information if you are a currently enrolled student and should not be considered an official academic transcript.
