OAG FAQs:
Why doesn’t my degreeworks match my major checklist?
Each individual student’s Degreeworks is dependent on the catalog year for your major; based on the semester that you matriculated to your bachelor’s program. Degreeworks is the platform used to review and confirm your degree status. If you have questions or concerns about your degreeworks, please reach out to your advisor.
Why isn’t my minor showing up on degreeworks?
If you are pursuing a minor but have not officially declared it, you will want to complete the change of minor form prior to submitting the OAG. To officially declare a minor, you must meet with your current academic advisor, and the academic advisor of your desired minor.
