DegreeWorks
Degree Works is a web-based, degree-auditing and tracking tool that enables students and advisors to evaluate academic progress towards graduation in accordance to university and academic program requirements as they are outlined in the General Announcements. This tool will allow students to quickly and easily identify which requirements have been satisfied, and which requirements are outstanding.

In addition, Degree Works can be used to perform a "what if" analysis to determine how current coursework and coursework in a student’s academic history would be used if a different academic program were selected.

For a comprehensive explanation on using Degree Works, please see details and step-by-step instructions provided by the Office of the Registrar here.

Rice Disability Resource Center
It is the mission of the Disability Resource Center (DRC) to be committed to providing access to the educational environment for students. Students should proactively (at the start of the program) report to the DRC any disabilities for which they require accommodations. Any requests for accommodations must be processed through the DRC. The DRC will provide students with a letter documenting their disability, how it impacts the students, and recommended accommodations. It is then the student's responsibility to provide instructors with this letter and actively engage with them regarding their accommodations. New or short-term disabilities should be reported as soon as possible so that any necessary academic accommodations can be made.
