Degree Tracker: Students

The Emory Degree Tracker is a tool within OPUS, which allows students, advisors, and administrators the ability to monitor student progress toward fulfillment of major, minor, concentration, and certificate requirements. This positions schools, users, and all involved stakeholders to realize a more successful advisement engagement and clearer pathways to on-time completion. We hope that students find Degree Tracker beneficial as they transition through their academic journey and that it promotes the effort staff and administrators put in to facilitate students’ success.

Degree Tracker FAQ

The Emory Degree Tracker is an OPUS tool, which allows students, advisors, and administrators the ability to monitor student progress toward fulfillment of major, minor, concentration, and certificate requirements. The Degree Tracker report runs a student’s current program of study against their credits to date (including Emory enrollment, Oxford credit, articulated transfer credit, and awarded test credit) in order to track their progress toward graduation.

You may access the Emory Degree Tracker by logging into OPUS and following the directions in How to Run a Degree Tracker Report.

As often as you would like! The tool is available 24/7. However, we do recommend you review it, at minimum, before you register, after you register but before add/drop/swap ends, and after grades are posted to make sure all courses are sorting as expected.

The summary report is a simplified overview of the interactive report, indicating only the status of each section without lengthy course lists or other details. This report is much shorter and often referred to during graduation checks.

The What-If feature is designed to give you the opportunity to see the requirements for different majors should you decide to change or add a major or minor during your academic career. You may simulate changes to your major, catalog year, or even courses you’re thinking about taking in the future. To do so, refer to How to Run a What-If Report.
