Degree Works is a web-based tool to help students and advisors monitor student’s progress toward degree completion. Degree Works combines University of Central Arkansas degree requirements and the coursework the student has completed with an easy- to-read worksheet that helps you see how the courses the student has completed count toward degree requirements, and also helps you see what courses and requirements they still need to complete.
Note: Degree Works is designed to aid and facilitate academic advising, but is not intended to replace face-to-face advising sessions. Degree Works is neither an official academic transcript nor an official notification of completion of degree requirements. Degree Works is built using program requirements based solely on the UCA Undergraduate/Graduate Bulletin by catalog year.
Graduate Students: Please jump to the Graduate School Degree Works page for additional information specific to you and your programs.
