Additional Learning Activity
Degree Works is the formal plan associated with your chosen field of study and the degree you seek. When the Registrar's Office looks to see if you are on track and ready to graduate, this is where they begin. You can access your degree plan from your MySam account by selecting the Student tab and then the link for Degree Works. Before we move through the activity below, let’s take a closer look at Degree Works by watching this video:
Now that you have completed that video, complete the activity below:
