My FVSU Degree
What is MyFVSUDegree?
MyFVSUDegree is a Web-based tool for students to monitor their academic progress toward degree completion. MyFVSUDegree also allows students and their advisors to plan future academic coursework.
Which students will MyFVSUDegree produce a degree audit for?
MyFVSUDegree should only be used to evaluate degree progress for undergraduate students who first entered FVSU or have a catalog year equal to Fall 2011 or later.
What is a Catalog Year?
The catalog year determines which catalog/degree requirements students follow to obtain a degree. Students/Advisors may update the catalog year to Fall 2011 or later. With the implementation of MyFVSUDegree, your major and catalog year will have to be correct in order to run a successful degree audit. Please remember a student can only move forward in catalogs and cannot go backwards. Once a request has been submitted to change a student’s catalog year, the student will not be able to switch back to a previous catalog.
What is an audit?
A MyFVSUDegree audit is a review of past, current and “planned” coursework that provides information on completed and outstanding requirements necessary to complete a degree/major/minor/concentration.

But, your advisor has the ability to refresh and process a new audit to pull in your latest student data to view any changes that might have happened the same day.

Will I be able to view my entire history of courses taken at FVSU?
MyFVSUDegree uses the information that is current in academic history.
