Track Your Degree Progress

Some tools for tracking your progress include:

Your Academic Requirements Report on CAESAR. This feature lists general Weinberg College requirements and requirements for any of your declared majors or minors. It provides information on how courses you have taken fit into these requirements and on what requirements remain to be filled. (Certain courses may subsequently be moved to other categories. This may be true, for example, for courses that can count toward your major or your minor—but not both.) It's a good idea to be prepared to log in to view, or print ahead and take a copy of, your Academic Requirements Report when you meet with a major or minor adviser.
Relevant sections of the Undergraduate Catalog. Quick links to major and minor Catalog pages can be accessed on the Weinberg College website under Major and Minor Requirements.
Worksheets that can be downloaded from the Weinberg College website under Major and Minor Requirements, or other documents available from departments and programs. If anything is confusing or unclear, be sure to check with an adviser.

Tips for Meetings with Advisers

When talking with academic advisers or referring to websites or other documents, please keep in mind your degree starting-point (i.e. your first term of enrollment at Northwestern).

When you meet with a College Adviser, you will likely talk about your progress toward completing degree requirements. You will also discuss requirements with major or minor advisers, and this will be an important focus when you meet to complete your Graduation Petition one year prior to your graduation.

Frequent advising meetings are a good idea. Reach out especially when you are uncertain about a rule or if you are having difficulty choosing among options.
