What is a Degree Audit?

The degree audit is an academic planning tool that allows students and advisors to review programs of study (POS) and progress toward completion of university, college, and major, minor, or certificate requirements.

  • Declared audits can be used to track progress toward declared majors, minors, and certificates.
  • What if? audits can be used to assess how current coursework and credits apply toward completion of non-declared majors, minors, or certificates.

When to Request a Degree Audit

Students and advisors should request an audit during each meeting or whenever they want to review progress toward degree and program requirements. This ensures that the audit reflects any recent registration or grade changes, as well as the addition of transfer or study abroad coursework.

Degree Audit Progression

Degree audits are planning tools only and are not meant to take the place of meeting with an academic advisor. You should meet with your assigned advisor at least once a semester to ensure you understand degree requirements, are taking necessary prerequisites, are following correct course sequences, and are making progress to complete all degree and program requirements in the appropriate time.

The Office of the Registrar encodes degree audits using the requirements that appear in the General Catalog, and the audits display the requirements that correspond with the semester the program of study (POS) was declared. For example, a student who declares a major in fall 2025 will be held to the requirements listed for the major in the 2025–2 General Catalog, even if the requirements were changed for fall 2026. 

Not all colleges and POS currently have degree audits; refer to the requirements in the General Catalog if an audit does not exist.

How to Request Degree Audit

Degree Audits must be requested through MyUI.

  1. Log in to MyUI.
  2. Select Student Information in the top banner.
  3. In the Advising section, click Degree Audit.
  4. To submit your request, click Request Audit.
    1. Please note: Make sure the Declared Program of Study radio button is selected and that the program of study (i.e., major, minor, or certificate) that you want to review is selected. If the Declared Program of Study radio button is inactive and you do not have a declared program of study listed in the Degree Audit text box, refer to information on Missing Declared Program of Study.  
  5. After your request has been submitted, a green banner will appear, and you should have a new degree audit within 60–90 seconds.
  6. Click Check for Completed Audits to review the requested audit.

Missing Declared Program of Study

Not all programs of study have a degree audit. If the Declared Program of Study radio button is inactive and you do not have a declared program of study listed in the Degree Audit text box, it may be because your program of study does not have an audit.

To find out if your program of study has an audit, search the options listed in the What if? drop-down menu by selecting the What if? radio button and searching for your program of study.
