Degree Works Auditing Software and Fitness Classes

Need to Know

Degree Works now available to faculty and advisors

Beginning fall 2014, Millersville is launching a new degree audit system called Degree Works. Degree Works will replace the “DARS” system for all students (new and continuing) in fall 2014. Degree Works provides a more organized and interactive way for students to assess their academic progress toward degree completion.

We are pleased to announce that Degree Works is now available for preview and testing to all faculty and advisors. To access the Degree Works system, login to your MAX account.  Click on the “Faculty Services” tab and then proceed to the “Advisor Menu.”  Click on the link for “Degree Audit” to access Degree Works.

With Degree Works students and advisors will:

Track – View all completed and in-progress courses as they apply to a student’s declared degree, major, option and minor requirements. Transfer credits, waivers and exceptions to graduation will all appear on the audit to help you track a student’s progress. Note: Exceptions and waivers from DARS are being transferred into Degree Works this summer, so at this time you will not see all exceptions or waivers in Degree Works.

Prepare – Click on courses within degree requirements to see course descriptions, currently scheduled sections and to view pre-requisites. See how courses would apply to another major, minor or concentration using the “What If” feature.

Plan – Use the “Look Ahead” feature to enter future courses a student is planning to take and see how they apply to the degree requirements.

DARS access to students will be discontinued as of August 25, 2014. Students will have only Degree Works as their option to run an audit at this time.

Faculty and advisors will continue to have access to DARS through the fall 2014 semester. However, new exceptions and curricular updates will not be maintained in DARS after the August 25 date.

You may email degreeaudit@millersville.edu if you have questions regarding Degree Works.
