The Degree Works Audit (DWA) is a computerized program that displays your academic information based on the college’s requirements found in the Baruch Bulletin. The DWA enables you to track your academic progress towards a degree. The DWA provides information on how each requirement was satisfied and which courses can be taken to complete your remaining requirements.

The Degree Works Audit (DWA) is an unofficial advisement tool. It is not an Academic Transcript.

You should always review your degree progress report prior to meeting with an advisor, preparing any questions you may have regarding your requirements.

The different sections of your audit shows how your courses are being applied to your over all degree requirements–i.e., major courses, minor courses, and electives.

NOTE: “Electives not allowed” are still counted towards your degree and total credit count and GPA. Any courses that exceed the number of “Elective classes allowed” or do not apply to any requirement, will be placed in this section.

To file for graduation, please fill out Application for Graduation form and submit to Registrar’s office.

After your degree is posted on your transcript, you will be able to obtain a letter from the Registrar’s office confirming your degree.

If you want your transcript request to be held until the degree is posted, be sure to specify that when making your request. All obligations, whether academic or financial, must be cleared before your records will be released
