| Q: |
Can Degree Audit tell me if I am eligible to graduate? |
| A: |
Degree Audit can help you and your advisor monitor progress towards your degree however it is not a graduation audit. It is intended as a guide on completion of a student’s degree but it does not replace the counseling that students receive from their advisors. The Electronic Degree Audit is “unofficial”, it is for advising only. Official status of degree certification will be made by your college.

| Q: |
The requirements for my major have changed and Degree Audit is showing the old requirements? |

A student’s catalog year is based on the term they were admitted to UND. If the requirements of your major have changed, contact your advisor to see if your catalog year can be changed. Your advisor will contact the Office of the Registrar to make the change.

| Q: |
Why are some courses coded with an EN and a grade and some with EN and no grade? |
| A: |
The courses with an EN and a grade are completed courses. The courses with an EN and no grade are courses currently enrolled in or courses “In Progress”. The degree audit computes those courses in total credits, GERs or ES and in your major. Be aware that if the course is dropped that the requirements it met will change.

| Q: |
Why are there courses missing from my Degree Audit? |
| A: |
There are various reasons a course may not appear on your Degree Audit. If a course was failed it will not appear in your Degree Audit. If a course requires a C or better, the course will not appear in your Degree Audit if you did not earn a C or better. Transfer credit is awarded in the Office of the Registrar upon admission to UND. Any course evaluated for equivalency by a department may not appear on your Degree Audit if it was not sent to the Registrar’s Office. Please see the department of the course if you believe this has occurred.
