Degree Works for Advisors

  • Welcome to Degree Works

    Degree Works has an updated look!

    Degree Works is undergoing several changes. Please stay tuned for updated videos and further documentation as they become available. 

    Degree Works is a web-based tool that enables advisors to view a real-time comparison of a student’s academic coursework against program specific requirements. The information is presented in an easy-to-read, color-coded checklist format.

    If you are a student, please go to Degree Works for Students.

    Degree Works can be accessed after signing in to MyIUP using your IUP network account:

    • Click the Academics link.
    • In the Advising Tools section, click Degree Evaluation: Degree Works.

    The videos below provide an introduction to Degree Works, specific information on using Degree Works’ “What If” option, and how to apply Notes.
