Symbol Meanings

A block/requirement will display one of the following symbols:

  • A checkmark signifies that the block/requirement was met.
  • An empty box signifies that the block/requirement was not met.
  • A single blue squiggly line signifies the block/requirement is in-progress.

Degree Works

Degree Works is an online advising tool to help students and advisors monitor students’ progress toward degree completion. Degree Works matches students’ coursework (completed, currently enrolled, or registered for in the future) to degree requirements in the Undergraduate and/or Graduate Bulletins in an easy-to-read worksheet that shows how the courses count toward degree requirements. It does not replace or supersede the guidance offered by your faculty advisor and the academic departments within the colleges and schools of Wilkes University. The system is continuously updated with the latest information as it becomes available.
