Understanding the Symbols in your Degree Audit?

• At the end of the audit is a legend that displays what each symbol in your audit means. For instance, if your audit contains complete all the way through, your degree is most likely complete (pending review with your academic advisor). If you have not complete listed throughout your audit, you have additional courses you must complete.
• The symbol @ is used within Degree Works in multiple ways to represent any course number or prefix.
• Examples:
  • 3 credits in BIOL @ means you can take 3 credits in anything Biology.
  • @ @ with ATTRIBUTE=GE10 means you can take any course with a Basic Communication Designation.
  • @ 300:499 means you can take any course at a 300 or higher level.
