A credit total is one part of a degree completion plan

Calculate degree credits remaining and compare term loads within your confirmed course availability. Keep earned and in-progress credits distinct.

A degree requiring 120 credits with 75 earned and 15 in progress leaves 30 projected credits if those in-progress credits pass and count. Two planned terms of 15 credits reach the credit total. Excluding the unfinished 15 leaves 45 credits, so the same two-term plan is 15 credits short.

Use one credit-unit system. Enter only credits accepted toward this degree, counting each once. In-progress credit is a conditional projection, not earned credit. Enter each term’s available credit capacity after checking prerequisites, required sequence, availability, permitted load and your own capacity. This version validates those entered limits but does not model individual prerequisite chains. Major requirements, residency, minimum grades, GPA and award approval remain separate.

How many college credits do I still need?

Subtract earned credits that apply to this degree from its required total. Transfer credit waiting for approval and courses that do not satisfy any degree credit requirement should not be treated as earned accepted credits. Separate in-progress work so its outcome stays visible.

When could the planned credits be completed?

Enter chronological term labels and realistic credit loads. The first term that reaches the projected remaining total is a credit-completion scenario. An empty or unavailable term can have a zero load. If the entered terms are insufficient, the result shows the credits still unplaced instead of inventing a graduation date.

A prerequisite can matter more than a free credit slot

Thirty remaining credits do not necessarily fit two fifteen-credit terms if a required course is offered only once a year or depends on an unfinished prerequisite. Reflect those constraints in each term’s confirmed capacity, then review the course sequence with your adviser.
