What is DegreeCheck?
DegreeCheck is a web-based advising tool which will produce an easy-to-read and user-friendly academic evaluation to help students and advisors monitor progress toward degree completion. DegreeCheck looks at the degree requirements of the PPCC catalog and the coursework completed to give students and advisors better information in selecting coursework and understanding degree requirements. DegreeCheck is designed to aid and facilitate academic advising, but is not intended to replace face-to-face advising sessions. DegreeCheck is neither an official academic transcript nor an official notification of completion of degree requirements.
