All students should be reviewing their degree evaluations throughout their time at WSU. To access your degree audit: (My Westfield Portal - academics page – Degree Progress Card – DegreeWorks dashboard link). 

Students repeating a course must fill out and submit the course repeat form to the Office of the Registrar. If the course repeat form is not submitted, students repeating a course they previously passed (whether it was intentional or not) degree audit may be counting the credits twice toward graduation. Review the degree audit for possible repeats and make adjustments as necessary.

Enrollment verification letter can be obtained through the Registrar’s Office.
