Degree Works (DW) is a web-based auditing tool that allows students and advisors to monitor progress toward completion of program requirements. It combines Winthrop's degree requirements and the coursework that has been completed with easy-to-read worksheets. These worksheets will show how completed courses count toward degree requirements and show which courses and requirements still need to be completed.
This page is a resource for Winthrop faculty and staff. Current Winthrop students with questions about Degree Works should visit our Degree Works for Current Winthrop Students page for more information and helpful resources.
Winthrop faculty and staff can access Degree Works through Wingspan.
