Degree Audits

Degree Audit reports are available through the UMASS Wiser system. You may view and print your audits from your own computer or at one of the many kiosks around campus or at the ONE STOP Service Center, upper level of the campus center.

If your degree audit is not accurately showing your courses then you should make an appointment with an advisor in your major. In order for you to graduate your degree audit must show that all course requirements have been completed. If you see a problem on your audit please make an appointment in advance of your graduation date.

Note: Degree Audits are not available to students whose original entrance date is prior to Fall 1988 or to students enrolled in the College Of Pubic and Community service.
