Which of the following statements about degree progress resources is correct?

• A. Degree audit shows completed vs remaining requirements and should be discussed with an adviser.
• B. Degree audit forecasts your GPA.
• C. Degree audit is optional.
• D. Degree audit replaces official transcripts.

Answer: (A)

Degree progress resources, like a degree audit, show what you’ve already completed and what remains for your degree, giving you a clear picture of your path to graduation. This makes it most effective to review with an adviser, so you can interpret remaining requirements, catch any substitutions or prerequisites, and plan courses accordingly. The degree audit doesn’t forecast your GPA, since GPA is calculated from your grades in courses, not from degree requirements. It’s not typically optional, because staying on track with accurate progress helps prevent delays in graduation. It also doesn’t replace official transcripts, which are formal documents that record courses taken and grades earned.
