Example Data Table

Total Required Completed Transfer In Progress Core Done / Req Elective Done / Req Gen Ed Done / Req Current GPA Minimum GPA Projected Progress
120 72 9 12 30 / 48 18 / 30 33 / 42 3.10 2.00 77.50%

This sample shows a student who has earned 81 credits and projects 93 after the current term.

Formula Used

Earned Credits = min(Total Credits Required, Completed Credits + Transfer Credits) Projected Credits = min(Total Credits Required, Earned Credits + In-Progress Credits) Overall Progress % = (Earned Credits / Total Credits Required) × 100 Projected Progress % = (Projected Credits / Total Credits Required) × 100 Category Progress % = (Category Completed / Category Required) × 100 Remaining Credits After Term = max(0, Total Credits Required - Projected Credits) Estimated Terms Remaining = ceil(Remaining Credits After Term / Planned Credits Per Term)

These formulas combine overall credits, category completion, transfer work, and GPA checkpoints into one academic progress view.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does this degree audit progress calculator measure?

It measures earned credit progress, projected completion after the current term, category completion, remaining credits, GPA standing, and estimated terms left before finishing.

2. Are transfer credits included in the audit?

Yes. Accepted transfer credits are added to completed credits when calculating earned progress. They help reduce remaining credits if your institution officially counts them toward graduation.

3. Do in-progress credits count as finished credits?

Not in the current earned total. They are used only for projected progress, so you can estimate where you may stand after the present term ends successfully.

4. Why can category totals differ from total degree credits?

Some programs include internships, capstones, labs, residency rules, or free electives outside the three main categories. The mapping difference helps reveal that gap.

5. Why does GPA matter in a degree audit?

Many institutions require a minimum cumulative GPA for graduation, progression, scholarships, or academic standing. This tool checks whether your GPA currently meets that threshold.

6. How are estimated terms remaining calculated?

The calculator divides remaining credits after the current term by your planned credits per future term, then rounds up to the next whole term.

7. Can this replace an official university audit?

No. It is a planning tool. Official graduation clearance still depends on your institution’s registrar, department rules, residency policies, repeated courses, and approved substitutions.

8. Can I export my audit results?

Yes. Use the CSV button for spreadsheet analysis or the PDF button for a printable summary you can save, review, or share with an advisor.
