How to Register on the Web

Use the Degree Audit to Prevent Registration Oversights
Get in the habit of using the Degree Audit feature of CardinalWeb for Students (in the pull down menu at the top of CWS) to assure you are selecting courses that fulfill the requirements for your degree. Use it to monitor your progress towards a degree from day one until program completion. It is the same software that the Registrar's Office uses to perform final graduation check-out. A pdf of instructions for using the Degree Audit is available by clicking here.
