DegreeWorks

What is DegreeWorks?

DegreeWorks is the degree audit and tracking system for Coast Community Colleges District (CCCD) that provides an accessible, convenient, and organized way to assess academic progress. DegreeWorks allows you to:

• View your Student Educational Plan (developed with your counselor).
• View your degree audit worksheet which details your progress - course by course - towards your declared educational objective (associate's or certificate's) at Coastline.
• View your progress in the CSU general education and/or IGETC patterns for transfer.
• Track your CSU, UC, and Coastline degree-applicable GPA and overall GPA based on your Coastline coursework.
• Run "What If" scenarios to see how close you are to completing other degrees and certificates to compare options.
• View your articulated course credit earned at other institutions (requirement: see a counselor).
