What is DegreeWorks? College of Coastal Georgia has implemented a new degree auditing system called DegreeWorks. DegreeWorks is a web tool that provides real-time advice

for students and their advisors to monitor the student’s progress towards graduation. The program includes the degree requirements such as core courses and

program courses that are needed for your major by areas. Degree works can be found under COAST in the myCCGA portal. To login, push the MyCCGA

button on the top right of the CCGA webpage, login to the portal and click on COAST. Click on Student Records and Student Records again, and then click

DegreeWorks (last option). Your worksheet will automatically default to your official major, but you can change the worksheet by selecting “what-if”.

Student Info: It shows information on the student

such as, name, ID number, classification, major,

advisor, and GPA.

Progress Bar: This shows the progress of your

degree. The top bar shows how much of the actual

requirements you have completed. The credits bar

shows how many credits have been completed but

not necessarily towards your actual major.

Degree Category: This shows the areas of your

major that has been completed or still needed.

Core Curriculum: This shows areas A-E of the

core curriculum. The core courses are needed by all

students no matter the major. It includes the grades,

hours, and the terms that the classes were taken.

Major Category: This shows

the actual program courses

that are needed for your

major.

Legend: The legend key shows completed courses,

not completed courses, in-progress courses, and

areas that are near complete.

Additional Requirements: This category

shows the CPC and Legislative

requirements. The CPC requirements are

satisfied by completing the required number

of courses in high school, or completing

one semester of a college level course that

the student may be deficient in. The

legislative requirements are to show

competency in U.S. and Georgia

Constitution and U.S. and Georgia History.

It also includes the CCGA seminar for a

new incoming freshman to complete. Once

the student has reached sophomore

classification the requirement is

automatically satisfied. The last requirement is the two

credit hours in physical education courses.

Additional Courses: This shows

additional courses that were successfully

completed that are not currently being

used by DW. This usually results from

changing your major and there is no place

to use your previous classes in your new

program. However, you can work with

your advisor for possible options to see if

these courses could be used in another

place.

Insufficient Grades: Courses that were

not completed due to a failing grade or the

student withdrew from the course.

Notes: This section displays notes of any

time you make contact with your advisor.

Stating what was discussed and any

referrals that were made.
