HOW TO CHECK MY CURRENT STUDY PROGRESS

A Degree Audit is an academic report that shows a student’s completed and in-progress courses at the moment. It allows students to see if their courses taken fulfill the requirements of their curriculum and their declared major(s) and/or minor(s), and the remaining courses/credits to complete them.
Students who are planning for other major(s) and/or minor(s), or consider programme transfer can run the What-if report to simulate various scenarios by adding or switching different major(s) and minor(s).

Where to find Degree Audit?

HKU Portal -> Student Information System (SIS) (see the screen capture here) -> SIS Menu -> Academic Records -> My Degree Audit
