Academic Advising Preparation

Audit/Advising Worksheet:

The degree audit, also known as the advising worksheet, offers details of the courses you have taken, grades and credits earned, and your GPA. It also identifies your major, any minors or concentrations you may have, the requirements you have met and the requirements you still need to meet.

To access your audit, please follow the following instructions:

  • Log onto PirateNet
  • Click SHU Portal
  • Go to the Academics Tab
  • Go to Student Records
  • Click Advising Worksheet — Degree Requirements

Look at unofficial transcripts and your advising worksheet:

  • What have you completed?
  • What do you still need to complete?
  • How has your GPA changed over the semesters? Why?
  • What is the difference between your attempted and completed classes?
  • Do you have any holds?
  • Have a skeleton schedule and make sure you know when classes are offered.

Ask the following questions:

  • What is the GPA requirement of my intended major?
