Degree Works tells you what you still need. It doesn't tell you which classes to take next semester, which sections are easiest, or when a full one opens. ClassMaxx reads the audit and does that part.
| Still needed | The requirements you haven't met yet, each with the classes that would satisfy it. "1 Class in MATH 3260 or STAT 3010" means pick one. "@" is a wildcard: "CS 3@" is any 3000-level CS class. |
| Complete / In-progress | Requirements already satisfied, or being satisfied by a class you're taking now. In-progress classes count only if you pass. |
| Fallthrough | Classes that transferred or were taken but don't fit any requirement. They count as elective hours toward the total, not toward your major. |
| Insufficient | Classes with a grade too low to count (often below C), or withdrawals. Retaking replaces the entry. |
| Catalog year | The year whose requirements apply to you. Changing majors can change it; the audit is right and the website catalog may not be. |
Every "Still needed" line becomes a checklist item. From there the app builds four schedules for next semester out of live Shepherd University sections, in prerequisite order, easiest first where Shepherd University publishes grades, and alerts you when a seat opens in a full one. Transferring? It also shows which of these requirements your current classes would fill at the schools you're considering.
44 programs from the Shepherd University catalog. The audit is more accurate for you than any of these, because it already counts your transfer credit, AP scores and substitutions.
Degree Works is a product of Ellucian. If Shepherd University uses a different degree audit (uAchieve, Stellic, a PDF from the registrar), upload that instead: ClassMaxx reads any audit that lists what is still needed. ClassMaxx is not affiliated with Shepherd University or Ellucian.
The iPhone app pushes the alert the second a seat opens, builds four ready schedules from your degree audit, and ranks sections by real grades. Free; a $4.99 Fast pass per semester makes alerts instant.
