MyProgress
Tracking Degree Progress
Major Forms are no longer used to track degree progress. Now, students must familiarize themselves with their MyProgress Report to accurately track their degree progress. If you need help navigating through your MyProgress, please see an advisor in the H&A Success Center for guidance. See below for some helpful tips and reminders.
Reviewing Your Report
When accessing your MyProgress report, always "collapse" the categories so you have a better view of the areas that you need to complete. Then, you can use the drop down carrots to collapse and expand the specific areas you need to review. If you print your report, please exand all categories before printing.
Understanding MyProgress Icons
鈻笍 A green circled with a checkmark means that the requirement is complete.
鈻笍 A yellow diamond means that the requirement is in progress.
鈻笍 A blue star means that a plan for completioin is in place.
鈻笍 A red square means that the requirement is not yet complete.
鈻笍 A purple triangle with exclaimation point means that an exception is made for the requirement.
鈻笍 If you see nothing but yellow diamonds and green checkmarks in your final semester, then you are on track to graduate as long as you pass all your classes.
Exceptions
If you would like to make and exception (formally known as a substitution) for any of your courses so a red square can turn into a green circle, please email your major or minor advisor and provide them with your student ID, the name of the course you are supposed to take, and the course information (name, term, institution) of the course you would like to use instead.
More information and helpful videos can be found on the My Progress for Students page in the Academic Advisng Hub.
