Credits to graduation, by requirement category.

List each requirement category with the credits it demands and the credits you have completed. The panel shows what is left overall and how many terms that implies at your usual load.

Inputs

The formula used

Remaining = Σ (required − completed) across every requirement category

Categories matter as much as the total: a surplus in electives does not discharge a shortfall in your major, which is the commonest reason a student with enough total credits cannot graduate.

Total credits are not the binding constraint.

Degree audits fail on categories, not on totals. A student can hold 120 credits and still be two courses short in the major, or missing a writing-intensive requirement that only two courses satisfy and both run in the spring. Sequencing compounds it: prerequisites mean a missing second-year course can push graduation a full year, regardless of how many credits sit in the elective column.

Questions about graduation credits

How many credits does a bachelor's degree need?
Typically 120 semester credits in the US, or 180 quarter credits. Professionally accredited programmes such as engineering and nursing often require more, sometimes 130 to 140.
Do transfer credits count toward the major?
Some do, on approval, and often only up to a cap. Residency rules commonly require a minimum number of credits taken at the awarding institution, including in the major.
Can I graduate with extra credits in one category?
Yes, but the surplus rarely substitutes for a shortfall elsewhere. Overloading electives while a core requirement is outstanding is the most expensive planning error in this list.

A calculator handles the arithmetic. It cannot teach you the method.

If the number is not the part you are stuck on, that is what the service is for — a specialist who explains the working, not just the answer.

Grade point values, rounding rules and academic standing thresholds are set by your institution and vary widely. Nothing here is an official record of your standing.
