Degree Works Notes

Why take notes?

  • Creates institutional memory
  • Increases advisor efficiency and effectiveness
  • Refreshes advisor memory prior to return visits and helps when planning next steps
  • Communicates critical information to other college personnel
  • Personalizes the advising experience

Best practices for using Degree Works notes can be found in the advisor handbook: myMCC, Advisor Essentials, Online Advisor Handbook, Chapter 7: Degree Works
