FAQs

Yes. Additionally DegreeTrack will list any minors you have declared.

All exemptions from any requirements, whether automatic or with special permission, will be noted clearly in your report as such along with the reason for your exemption. Depending on the nature of the exemption it may be noted in one of several ways. If you have any questions about exemptions you should speak with your advisor.

Transfer credit will appear along with institutional credit in the various areas of the report. If the transfer credit counts towards specific degree requirements it will be placed in the appropriate spot and the requirement will be checked off as completed. Transfer courses are distinguished on the report with a note naming the college the course was taken in.

Both are planning tools. "What If" allows you to see what would happen if you add/remove/change your majors and minors. "Look Ahead" allows you to simply see where courses you are thinking about taking fit in to your overall plan. Because these are planning tools, it is important to understand two things. 1) It is always best to check with an advisor before contemplating any program change. 2) You must officially declare your program changes through the Office of the Registrar to make them official.

Academic advisors will have the ability to place personalized advice on your report. One method is through the "Notes" system which are text messages containing advice or items related to meetings. Additionally, advisors will be able to create personalized "Plans" which can guide you on recommended registration choices for one or more future semesters to keep you on track. More communications options will be added in the future.

The ultimate guide to a student's degree requirements is the academic catalog published for your school or program. You are bound by the rules set forth in it. DegreeTrack complements the catalog by helping break down what it says about specific program requirements in an easy-to-read way. However, should there be any discrepancy between your DegreeTrack report and what is set forth in the catalog the catalog will be considered authoritative.

The first thing you should do is to speak with your academic advisor. Your advisor will help you clarify any issues and will work with the Registrar to correct any issues. We have taken great pains to make the reports as accurate as possible, but it is difficult to predict every possible situation. Over time, with the help of feedback from students and advisors, the system will get better and better.

If you recently declared a change to your program of study please contact the registrar. It takes at least one day for the system to automatically populate the changes to your report. You can use the "Refresh" and "Process New" commands to force an update to happen immediately. Of course, if you DID NOT declare a change notify the registrar immediately.

Pay attention to the academic year listed on the blue bars above the requirement blocks. This is the catalog year we believe you are bound by. Usually this would be the academic year of matriculation. If you believe you are bound by earlier or later catalogs please see the Registrar to discuss the issue and potentially update this for you. Once corrected the report will reflect the change.

Your DegreeTrack report is a tool that provides you with information related to your degree progress, displays courses required and completed, and any possible substitutions or waivers. Your Official Transcript is your official college record and provides a chronological list of completed courses and other academic information. Your Official Transcript must be requested from the registrar at www.yu.edu/transcript. In case of any discrepancies between your DegreeTrack report and your Official Transcript, your Official Transcript will be considered to be authoritative.

We are here to help you. We understand that DegreeTrack is a new feature and therefore want to hear feedback so that the Office of the Registrar can work to improve it. For questions, comments, concerns contact us at wilfregistrar@yu.edu.
