Road Maps

Vaqueros begin with the end in mind! Taking your major field of study into account, Road Maps are a suggested sequence of courses that you may take during your time at UTRGV. As you review your own Road Map, we encourage you to pay close attention to additional course prerequisites and requirements such as course sequence, course grades, classification and/or course rotation.

Degree Works

Degree Works is an online degree evaluation tool in ASSIST that allows you to track your progress towards graduation. By listing courses you’ve successfully completed, courses you need to complete, and any outstanding requirements you may need to graduate, your personal degree evaluation is your guide to graduation day!

Course Scheduler

As you plan for the next term, the Course Scheduler provides you the most up to date information about course offering including course times, prerequisites, dates, instructor and so much more!
