Degree Planning & Document Assistance
A degree audit through Degree Works helps you select courses that are required for your major and contains the following information:
- The classes that remain to be taken within the chosen major.
- Credits you’ve already completed that apply to the chosen major.
- Credits you’ve completed that do not apply to the chosen major.
In order to access your degree audit on Degree Works, you must first declare a major and then visit an Academic Advisor.
All previous college transcripts must be turned in to the Records and Student Completion Services office, so credits can be evaluated and updated on your TCC transcript.
If there are questions about college transfer credits or possible course substitutions that need to be applied, visit an Academic Advisor.
If you need to submit a paper transcript or have questions about completing the following forms we are here to help. Meet with your advisor with any questions.
