Degree Works Upgrade Summer 2025
Degree Works had undergone a major system upgrade July 12-14, 2025. Following the upgrade, the Degree Works Classic dashboard was removed from portal.wvu.edu, marking the end of a four-year transition period in which both the Classic and Responsive dashboard versions were available.
To prepare for the transition, the Office of the University Registrar had offered training sessions highlighting the differences between the Classic and Responsive dashboards in January and March. For questions regarding Degree Works, please contact degreeworks@mail.wvu.edu.
