You can look up our class offerings without even being logged in to ArgoExpress. To do this, you can follow the instructions below:

• From here you can pick the term you would like to view by selecting the drop down and then hitting the “Submit” button.  
• This will bring you to the search page where you can filter out the classes you would like to view in a multitude of ways. For example, if you were looking for an online writing course, you would select the subject “English” and then in the Campus box, “Distance Learning.” After making you selection, click the “Class Search” button at the bottom of the page.  
• This will populate all courses matching the description of your search criteria.

The worksheet displays a student’s degree progress based on their declared major/program. This worksheet displays all the degree, general education/Core, major, second major (if applicable) requirements and the classes the student has taken to satisfy them. The worksheet also shows incomplete requirements, reminding students of what classes they need to take. It illustrates the classes that have not been attempted (in red) and the classes in progress (in blue). For the classes that have not yet been attempted, DegreeWorks offers suggestions as to which class to take, thereby eliminating the hassle of searching for classes to satisfy an unmet requirement.

The What-If allows an advisor or student to see a worksheet for a new or second major/program, whether they are thinking about changing their major or adding an additional major. The What-If allows students to view how their progress changes with a new major or additional major, which classes can be applied towards the new major, which classes will not count, and which new classes need to be taken.

The GPA Calculator tab is for students to calculate what their term GPA may be based on what grade they predict they will get in a course. The GPA Calculator can help students in realistic goal-setting at the beginning of the term, as well as help with accurate mapping of their paths for achieving honors, avoiding academic probation or suspension, or satisfying personal academic aspirations.
