Does my Degree Evaluation Need Updates?
If Financial Aid is requesting an updated degree evaluation, complete any applicable documentation and submit to the Registrar's Office:
- Obtain approval from department via Degree Works Notes for any changes in advisor-approved courses
- Declare/Submit new Major/Minor Evaluations
- Submit Degree Evaluation Update Request
If you are changing your graduation quarter, submit a Degree Reapplication (no fee). If you want to cancel your degree application while you plan for a new graduation quarter, email Degreeeval@wwu.edu from your student email and ask us to deactivate your degree file. Reactivate your degree file later by submitting a Degree Reapplication.
If you are adding or changing a major/minor on your Degree Evaluation (examples: Minor Evaluation was not originally submitted with the application, catalog year update, new declaration), then submit a signed Major/ Minor Evaluation to Degreeeval@wwu.edu along with a Degree Evaluation Update Request if additional coursework is remaining.
If you registered for different courses than listed on your Degree Evaluation and they are correctly displaying in Degree Works, then no action is required unless requested by Financial Aid. If the courses are not applying towards requirements in Degree Works, you will need to contact your department to approve the alternate coursework via Degree Works Notes.
If you are registered for the same courses as on your Degree Evaluation, but in different quarters, no action is required unless requested by Financial Aid.
If you have further questions about updating your Degree Evaluation, contact Degreeeval@wwu.edu or call 360-650-3985.
