Degree Planning and Audit Tool

""   Overview and Key Features:

Degree Explorer is the University of Toronto’s degree planning tool. Review your academic history, degree requirements or use the planner to determine how future course choices might meet your requirements.

Degree Explorer also allows you to assess your overall progress in your degree or program. Ensure you are eligible to graduate by reviewing the requirements of your degree or program. Degree Explorer can tell you which requirements have been met and which are still outstanding.

""   Getting Started:

   Plan your degree:

The planner allows you to create up to five hypothetical degree scenarios. Drag and drop courses to map out prerequisites, electives and core courses.

   Review your academic history:

See your progress towards graduation and what is required each year to get you there. View your past and current courses, marks and any advanced standing. Courses in your Academic History are used in the assessment of your program or degree.

Degree Explorer Admin allows administrators to perform requirements and completion assessments for students’ courses and programs. It also allows for admin users to create and configure completion rules for programs and degrees.

""   Get Help:

Information for Degree Explorer help can be found on the SIS SharePoint site. There is also an operational guide available from the help menu within Degree Explorer.
