Degree Audits

Learn how Degree Audits work and how you can run a Degree Audit to see your current status toward fulfilling your degree requirements.

What is a Degree Audit?

A Degree Audit is an analytical tool that enables you and your academic advisors to assess your progress toward completion of your major requirements, college general education requirements, university requirements, and minor requirements, if applicable.

The Degree Audit aligns your in-progress and completed course work with the requirements of your degree program, making this a valuable tool for academic planning and course selection. 

How to run a Degree Audit

UC San Diego's Degree Audit system provides results in real time, so you can run an audit when you change your classes or once grades are posted. The Degree Audit is accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, except for periods in which TSS is down for maintenance. During these maintenance windows, you may still access prior Degree Audits you have run. 

See screenshots and details in the How to Run a Degree Audit (PDF) guide, or follow the steps below:

• Within your TSS Student Overview Homepage, look for the Degree Audit app under "More Links - Main Campus."
• You may also log in using your UCSD SSO here: uAchieve Degree Audit
• Select "UNT - Undergraduate" from the dropdown menu if you are an Undergraduate student. For Graduate or Extended Studies students, make the appropriate selection. Then click Continue.
• The "Request an Audit" page appears, listing your active degree program(s). Click Run Declared Programs.
• Your new Degree Audit is now ready to view. Click the View Audit link. 
• Degree Audits are a snapshot in time of your progress towards degree completion. Audits are deleted by the system after 7 days. Run a new audit to show your latest academic information.
• If you would like to save an audit, save a PDF to your computer. To do this, go back to the "Request an Audit" page and select Advanced Settings. Here, you can change the format to 'PDF AUDIT,' then select "Run Declared Programs."

How to read your degree audit

• Your Degree Audit is broken up into individual components:
  • Major(s)
  • Minor(s)
  • College general education (GE) requirements
  • University requirements
• See a degree audit example (PDF) with notes describing each section.

General Catalog vs. Degree Audit

• The General Catalog is the official repository of the curricular requirements for Degree Audits. If there are inconsistencies between the General Catalog and the Degree Audit, the General Catalog shall be deemed correct. Any errors on the Degree Audit do not automatically grant students an exception to their degree requirements. If you discover an inconsistency, report it to your advisor.
