Degree Works
Degree Works is Villanova’s new online degree auditing tool for undergraduate students. It is an easy-to-use and comprehensive graduation prep tool that helps students, and their advisors, track academic progress towards completion of their degree.
Using Degree Works, students can view their degree requirements for their major and minors, all in one location. Degree Works provides students with an academic roadmap that lays out their required courses, tracks credits earned and updates their cumulative GPA status each semester.
Please note, Degree Works is not a replacement for academic advising. Students are still required to attend one-on-one advising sessions with their advisors before course registration. Also, the audit produced by Degree Works is not an academic transcript or an official notification of enrollment verification or degree completion. Degree Works is replacing CAPP, the degree audit system previously used by advisors.
If you encounter any issues accessing Degree Works, please email the Office of the Registrar.
For other questions related to the degree audit, students should contact their advisor.
