DegreeWorks Help

INTRODUCTION TO DEGREE WORKS

Degree Works is a new software that enables students and advisors to track students' progress toward degree completion. It will replace degree evaluations in Self-Service Banner for students whose catalog year is 2016-2017 and later. Students will be able to access the correct tool for their degree evaluation via MyBethel.

Features of Degree Works:

Degree Works always loads with up-to-date data.
Mobile-friendly, adaptive display automatically adjusts to fit any size computer screens, tablets, or handheld devices
All majors, minors, and concentrations will display on a single evaluation worksheet (as long as they are in the same degree type).
Clear color coded icons to help highlight which graduation requirements are met or unmet.
Click on a course or category link to see the course description(s) and planned section offerings for classes which meet that graduation requirement.
Advising Notes on the Notes tab, or at the bottom of the degree evaluation worksheet, help record advisors’ guidance and advice for students.
GPA Calculators help students plan minimum necessary grades in order to achieve overall GPA goals.

On August 11, 2023, Bethel University upgraded DegreeWorks to a new dashboard called the responsive dashboard. This version is modern, cleaner, and features an adaptive display that fits well on tablets and smartphones. The original, classic dashboard has been discontinued.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: I think my degree evaluation worksheet has an error. What should I do?

A: CAS students should contact the Registrar's Office and CAPS/SEM/GS students should contact their Student Success Advisor.

Q: Can I register for classes in degree works?

A: No, students can register for classes by following the link to Add or Drop Classes in MyBethel.

Q: I'm pursuing two degrees (a BA and BS or MA and certificate). Only one appears on the degree evaluation worksheet. How can I check the requirements for my other program of study?

A: Use the "Degree" drop down menu to the right of your name to navigate to the evaluation worksheet(s) for your other degree(s).

Q: I'm a double major, but only one appears on the degree evaluation worksheet.

A: Most likely, the reason why the major seems to be missing is that it is part of a different degree. Use the "Degree" drop down menu to the right of your name to navigate to the evaluation worksheet(s) for your other degree(s). If the major is still missing, CAS students should contact the Registrar's Office and CAPS/SEM/GS students should contact their Student Success Advisor.

Q: I want to change my major. How can I see what would be required if I made this change?

A: Read the “What-If and Look Ahead” section. If you've decided you want to change your major, minor, or concentration, CAS students can fill out this form and CAPS/SEM/GS students can contact their Student Success Advisor.

Q: What does the @ symbol mean?

A: The @ symbol is the wildcard. It represents any course subject or course number.
