Degree Works Upgrade Set for Summer 2025
Degree Works will be unavailable for maintenance and a major system upgrade July 12-14, 2025. Following the upgrade, the Degree Works Classic dashboard will be 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. Please note, for students the Degree Works Classic button will be removed sooner on May 23, 2025.
To prepare for the transition, the Office of the University Registrar 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.
These resources highlight the differences between the two dashboards.Sign up for Banner and Degree Works Training
