Plan My Degree

Need to figure out which classes you still need to finish your degree? Considering another degree and want to know what coursework will transfer? Run a degree audit with Plan My Degree!

Plan My Degree automatically generates a report reflecting a student's academic progress toward the completion of a degree. A student may request a degree audit for their major or minor.

In addition, a student may request "What If" reports for other majors or minors they may be considering. The report automatically places the student's UMKC course work, transfer courses, and in progress courses within a series of requirements and sub-requirements for a specific degree program.

A degree audit is not a confirmation of requirement or degree completion. You must meet with your academic adviser to confirm progress toward earning your degree.

A degree audit is an automated report reflecting the student's academic progress toward the completion of a degree. The student may request a degree audit for their major or minor.

  5. To view the degree audit, select View Audit.
  6. Each section of the audit is called a requirement. Each requirement is numbered and is preceded by a check mark, an X or an ellipsis.

  8. The courses in the "select from" list are linked to the UMKC Course Catalog and will pull up the course description when you select one.

No. The degree audit report is a tool used by both academic advisors and students. The student should not rely on the degree audit without consulting with his or her academic advisors. The degree audit cannot replace one-on-one contact with the student's academic advisor, particularly in the student's area of interest.

Students with double majors will have a separate degree audit for each major program.

The report shows how transfer work that has been entered in Pathway will apply toward your degree requirements. Transfer coursework will appear in the audit with the equivalencies determined upon transfer, not with the course subjects and numbers from the previous institution.  If your transfer coursework is not appearing, you should contact your academic advisor to see if an official transcript needs to be submitted. 

Courses that will fulfill a requirement can be found within the requirement, by speaking to your academic adviser, or on the Major Maps site for the degree program. 

You should contact your advisor as soon as possible to clarify and confirm that the coursework has been evaluated.  Because you will be making decisions regarding enrollment each term, it is important to have an accurate record of requirement completion throughout your time at UMKC.
