Degree Audit Report --- Undergraduate
Checking Progress Toward Degree Completion
A degree audit is a computerized report that compares a student's academic record (current schedule and completed courses) to the requirements in a degree program, including concentrations and minors. The audit indicates what requirements have been satisfied and what requirements still need to be completed. A “what if” audit will do the same analysis for any degree program and concentration, however it does not work for minors. 

Students can view and print their own audits from Access Stout, or request one from the Advisement and Career Center, 11 Bowman Hall.

Registration Holds Due To Remedial Education
New freshmen whose scores on English or mathematics placement tests require them to enroll in ENGL 090 or MATH 010 are required to pass these courses before completing 30 credits.

If you are required to take the Remedial English course ENGL 090 and/or the Remedial mathematics course MATH 010, you must complete the course(s) with an acceptable grade in order to register for further English and/or Math courses.

Confirm Your Program
The accuracy of a Degree Audit depends on the accuracy of your declared major, concentration and minor. To assist in the successful implementation of Degree Audit, please be sure to check your Degree Audit to see that it states your major, concentration and minor correctly. If there are any errors, see the Advisement and Career Center immediately, to fill out a Program Change Form. Your help in keeping records up-to-date is greatly appreciated!

Graduate Credit Enrollees
All students enrolling for graduate credit must have applied and been accepted by the Graduate School before they can register for graduate credits. If you need information on applying, contact the Graduate School in Room 130 Bowman Hall, phone 715-232-2211 or visit us online. The student is responsible for adhering to university and Graduate School policies.

To ensure registration in appropriate courses, you must consult with your Graduate Program Director as assigned in your admission/acceptance letter. The Advisor for Graduate Non-Degree Special Students is currently Ms. Claudia Johnston. Note that selected programs require the advisor consultation for removal of a Registration Advisement Hold.

Continuing and New Students (Graduate)

NOTE: Once the term begins, the Access Stout web option is no longer available and instructors’ signatures are required for each course before you submit your registration form to Registration and Records. All students must register for classes by the 10th day of the semester.

Obtain your schedule/registration confirmation either by printing a copy from the web using Access Stout after you finish registering, or by picking one up when registering in Registration and Records, 109 Bowman Hall.
