The Worksheets page contains your degree/certificate audit. The audit helps students
and counselors monitor progress toward degree/certificate completion. The audit matches
your classes against the requirements for your declared Chabot degree/certificate.
The audit shows whether a particular requirement has been met, is in progress, or
is “still needed.” Watch the
Use Your Worksheet to Track Your Degree or Certificate Progress video on the Student How-Tos page to learn more.
The audit in your DegreeWorks account is based on the information available in the
college's student information system. Most of the time, you will only have one audit
in your DegreeWorks account and that audit will be for your declared major/catalog.
At some point during your studies, however, you may decide to submit a request to
the Admissions and Records Office for a degree/certificate that doesn't match your
current declared major. (This usually occurs because a student realizes that although
they may only declare one major, they may earn multiple degrees and certificates.)
In this case, an additional audit will be created in your DegreeWorks account. Once
the requested degree/certificate has been awarded or denied, then this additional
audit will no longer appear in your DegreeWorks account. Watch the
Check Whether You Have Additional Degree and Dertificate Audits video on the
Student How-Tos page to learn more.
Students may request for AP test credit and transfer coursework to appear on their
audit by submitting the
Incoming Transcript / AP Test Evaluation form to the Admissions & Records Office.
No. Students who have declared a catalog year that is prior to 2008-2009 will not
have a pre-existing audit in DegreeWorks. Students are advised to see a counselor
for more information.
No. Chabot and LPC classes taken prior to Summer 1994 are contained in your microfilm
record and do not appear in DegreeWorks. Students who have a microfilm record should meet with a counselor to determine how
to best utilize the audit.
You should review your audit several times a semester. You should review your audit:
If you are thinking about changing your major, you can use the What-If feature to
generate an audit for the new major you are considering. Once processed, the What-If
audit will show you what the requirements are for the major you are considering and
how the classes you have already taken will apply to that major. If you decide to
change your major, you must submit a
Major Declaration form to the Admissions and Records Office (Bldg. 700). Watch the
Run a What-If Audit to See How Close You Are to Earning Another Degree or Certificate video on the
Student How-Tos page for step-by-step instructions on running a What-If audit.
If you hover over any class number with your mouse, the titles and units for the class
will display. If you click on any class, a pop-up window will open and additional
details about the class including a description, required prerequisites, etc. Note: Current and future class section offerings listed in the pop-up window are subject
to change without notice.
If a class has a prerequisite, you will see a clipboard icon next to the class number.
To see what the prerequisite is for the class, click on it and a class description
including the prerequisite will appear in a pop up box.
This is a wildcard in DegreeWorks. For example, if the @ sign appears after the subject
prefix PEAC it means that you can take any Physical Education Activity class.
DegreeWorks looks at your program holistically, and places each class using a “best
fit” scenario. We've also programmed priorities that govern how certain classes will
be used in your audit. This process will not always be perfect, particularly when
multiple possibilities exist. However, as you complete your requirements, it generally
works out. If you are concerned about a class that does not appear in the area in
which you wanted to use it, you may contact a counselor for assistance.
In most cases, yes. DegreeWorks is programmed to recognize that some classes can fulfill
more than one requirement. For example,
major courses may often also be used to satisfy General Education requirements. Be sure to look through your audit to make sure that this duplicate placement is appropriate.
If you have any concerns about your audit, check the requirements in the
Chabot College Catalog before contacting a counselor.
Generally, this is not a problem and will work itself out as you complete more required
classes. However, if you are concerned, contact a
counselor.
Each term, DegreeWorks will reset the In-Progress term to the upcoming term. This
will happen the day after completion of grade processing. Note: If you still see in-progress grades for the immediate past term and you know that
grade processing has already occured for that term, try doing the following:
- Clear your web browser data (e.g., history, cookies, cache, etc.).
- Close all web browser windows.
- Open a new web browser window, then try accessing DegreeWorks again.
- If that fails, try accessing DegreeWorks using an incognito/private web browser window.
The degree progress bar will not show 100% completion until you finish all of your
in-progress classes and earn acceptable grades in them.
This error message indicates that the catalog year currently associated with your
student record needs to be updated to a more current catalog year. Submit a
Major Declaration form to the Admissions and Records Office (Bldg. 700) to update your catalog year
and major, if desired. In the meantime, you may wish to use the What-If feature to
review requirements for various degrees and certificates. Watch the
Run a What-If Audit to See How Close You Are to Earning Another Degree or Certificate video on the
Student How-Tos page for step-by-step instructions on running a What-If audit.
This error message indicates that your major and catalog year are incompatible and
need to be updated in the student information system. Having an incompatible major
and catalog year simply means that your declared major isn't offered in the catalog
year currently associated with your student record. Submit a
Major Declaration form to the Admissions and Records Office (Bldg. 700) to update your major and/or
catalog year. In the meantime, you may wish to use the What-If feature to review requirements
for various degrees and certificates. Watch the
Run a What-If Audit to See How Close You Are to Earning Another Degree or Certificate video on the
Student How-Tos page for step-by-step instructions on running a What-If audit.
Below are the most common problems and courses of action:
- My major is wrong on my audit. If you have not officially changed your major, then
submit a Major Declaration form to the Admissions and Records Office (Bldg. 700).
- The requirements for my major are wrong. Requirements for most majors change over
time and are tied to a particular catalog year. If you think your audit is incorrect,
check the catalog year that appears on your audit. If you believe the catalog year
is incorrect, submit a Major Declaration form to the Admissions and Records Office (Bldg. 700).
- Classs are not applying in the “right” place. DegreeWorks uses a “best fit” approach
for meeting requirements. This means classes may be applied differently as you take
more classes. This is normal and should be in your best interest. However, if you
are concerned, please contact a counselor.
- My transfer classes don't appear on my audit. You may request for AP test credit and
transfer coursework to appear on your audit by submitting the Incoming Transcript / AP Test Evaluation form to the Admissions & Records Office (Bldg. 700).
- I took classes at Chabot prior to Summer 1994. These classes don't appear on my audit.
Students who have a Chabot microfilm record (i.e., took classes at Chabot prior to
Summer 1994) should meet with a counselor to determine how to best utilize the audit.
If you still have questions, please contact a
counselor.
