Degree Audits - A degree audit is a report which shows all degree requirements and tracks progress towards meeting those requirements. Advisors use the detailed degree audit report to recommend courses for the upcoming semester.  It is also the responsibility of the student to understand the degree audit report and track progress towards meeting graduation requirements.

Degree Audit (as it relates to transfer students) The following designations are issued for transfer courses which have no equivalent Southeast courses. 

     GExxx  designates a course which transfers as general elective credit (example:  GE124)   

 XX198 - lower level departmental elective.   For example, an education elective might be  designated as EL198; a political science elective would be shown as PS198. Departmental chairs  can determine if the elective can sub for another course within their own department. 
 XX398 - upper level departmental elective (example EL398 is an elective for elementary  education; PS398 would be a political science elective). The department chairs would ave the  authority to approve a substitution for classes in their department)
 PS102  National Government  indicates that a transfer student, usually from an out of state  school, has credit for a national government course. The student must take PS220 Missouri  Government to complete the University Studies Political Systems requirement. This combination  will then be shown as the equivalent of PS103.

A degree audit for prior degreed students (those who have already graduated and later returned for an additional degree) should be compared to the appropriate curriculum sheet.  Students who earned a prior degree at another institution will need to work with their advisor to make sure various requirements have been subbed or waived.
