A degree audit is a tool used by students and academic advisors to track progress toward completing a degree program. It compares a student's completed courses and credits against the requirements set by their academic institution, ensuring that all necessary classes and credits are accounted for. This helps students understand what they still need to complete to graduate. Typically, degree audits are available through a school's student information system or academic advising office. They can highlight any deficiencies, such as missing courses or credits, and provide a clear roadmap for students to follow as they work toward their degree completion.
