Ellucian Degree Works Reviews

As a student, I love the ease with which I can view my degree requirements and the courses I have left to graduate. The "What If" feature is my favorite. I use it often to determine the number of courses I would need to take if I changed my degree program, or if I decide to add a certificate program to my plan. It is very easy to use.

The only true downside I see when using DegreeWorks is the inability to change the prospective degree program from within the "What If" feature once you have processed it. You have to return to the main page and then select the "What If" feature again to create a new program view. I think the ability to select more than one concentration for a degree would be beneficial as well.

As a student and a staff member, using Degree Works solves the time students would have to spend communicating with their advisor/Success Coach on the number of classes they need to graduate or even the classes they need to take next. It also helps them see the additional classes they would need to take if they decided to change majors. Degree Works allows students to access this information by themselves at any time - very important for tech-savvy, busy college students of all ages. Degree Works also helps the advisors/Success Coaches by providing the information they need to advise students quickly and easily.

easy-to-read as students need something which could be easily deciphered and thus it was better.

nothing as such, there isn't any particular thing which i dislike about it

Basically its very different from other platforms when it comes to ease of use thus

I like that I can check my progress of course requirements for my degree. Courses I have completed are checked off, and courses in progress are also noted. I also like that you can access a what-if worksheet to explore other educational goal options.

What I dislike is that I cannot update some information such as a change in my major or choosing a degree over a certificate program. Those updates need to be made through the Enrollment Services office.

Students are able to access their educational plan created by their academic counselor using Degree Works. It is a handy reference tool to keep their records in one place.

It helped me to see what courses I needed to complete, and my grades. Also seeing my transfer credits was useful.

It could be slow to load, that was frustrating

It helped me to plan my courses and see where I was in the process of completing my degrees.

For students, it tells you which courses you have completed and which one's you have left. This saves students from needing to schedule appointments with advisors often, which are normally difficult to do as universities are big, and have ease of access on their devices.

Sometimes it doesn't show accurate updates, requiring a visit to an advisor to override certain things for you.

Too many student visits for the simplest question.

This is a great tool for both advisors and students. It shows all the information needed to track progress and eligibility for graduation all on one screen.

The appearance seems a little outdated. I would like to see a little more streamlining of the information.

When I advise students, it is so helpful to view their major, how far along they are towards their degree, what classes they have taken, their grades, and what they still need to take.

How easy it is to look up all of the necessary information about your progress. It is not overly complicated, so you can use it natively.

Need more features to make usability more flexible.

Organizing and easy access to everything.

did allow students to see their progress easily

looks dated and could be updated to be more user friendly

makes it easier to show students what their goals are and how close they are to meeting them.

Degree works is very easy to read in my opinion. It's well laid out and everything just makes sense. I've used other programs that were kind of overcomplicated. I don't think this is.

As simple as it is, it looks dated. I don't mind the simplicity, I actually prefer it, but they could modernize it a bit. I've noticed some flukey or glitchy moments, but it's been kind of rare.

It's a great tool for advising!
