Own Your Degree Plan

Graduation shouldn't be a surprise. The Academic Credit Tracker (formerly Credit Score Calculator) is designed to give you total clarity on your standing. Universities are complex; requirements shift, emails get lost, and advisors are busy. By maintaining your own "Shadow Audit," you ensure that no missing credit prevents you from walking across that stage.

Strategic Course Planning

The "Elective Trap"

It's tempting to take easy classes to boost GPA. However, if you fill your schedule with electives early, you may be forced to take 4-5 hard "Core" classes in your senior year just to finish.

The Balanced Load

Use this tracker to ensure you are chipping away at "Lab Sciences" and "Foreign Languages" steadily, rather than saving them all for the end.

Frequently Asked Questions

What holds most students back from graduating?
Poor credit planning. Students often take too many random electives that do not count towards their specific degree requirements, leaving them short on "Core" or "Major" credits in their final semester.
What is the difference between "Earned" and "Attempted" credits?
"Attempted" credits are courses you registered for. "Earned" credits are courses you passed. If you fail a class (F) or withdraw (W), you attempted the credits but did not earn them towards graduation.
Do transfer credits count?
Usually, yes, but they must be approved by your registrar. Use the "Add Category" feature to create a specific "Transfer Credits" bucket to track these separately.
What is a "Residency Requirement"?
Most universities require you to complete the last 30-60 credits AT their institution to earn their degree. You cannot transfer in 100% of your credits.
How do I use the "Print Report" feature?
Click "Print Report" to generate a clean, ink-friendly summary of your progress. This is perfect for bringing to your meeting with your Academic Advisor.
Why do I see a chart?
The chart helps you visualize balance. If your "Electives" slice is huge but your "Core" slice is tiny, you might be taking too many "fun" classes and delaying your actual degree completion.
What if I double major?
Simply add more categories! Create distinct buckets for "Major 1 Core" and "Major 2 Core" to ensure you are hitting targets for both.
Does this tool save my data?
Yes! Your data is saved locally to your browser, so you can close the tab and come back next semester to update it.
What is "Auditing" a course?
Auditing means sitting in on a class for no grade and NO CREDITS. Do not enter audited courses into this calculator as they do not count towards graduation.
Can I use this for High School?
eAbsolutely. Just change the categories to "Math", "Science", "English", etc., and track your credits towards your diploma.
