Student degree progress tool being developed for Twin Cities and Rochester campuses Later this fall, the University of Minnesota's Twin Cities and Rochester campuses will launch a new tool within MyU that helps undergraduate students better understand their degree progress and plan for four-year degree completion. This tool utilizes data from APAS to calculate a student's progress within their degree program. Students will receive recommendations, based on their individual progress and University experience, to help guide them toward four-year degree completion. Multi-institution and transfer students are also included. For this reason, students on your campus may become aware of the new Degree Progress information. If you have questions, contact the ASR Student Degree Progress team.
