How can I track my progress in my program?

At Western Governors University, students have several tools and resources available to track their progress in their programs effectively. The university utilizes a unique approach to online education, emphasizing self-paced learning and competency-based education. This means that students can measure their own progress through the courses they are enrolled in. One of the primary tools for tracking progress is the WGU Student Portal. Within the portal, students can view their degree plan, which outlines all required courses and competencies. This feature allows students to see which courses they have completed and which ones are still pending. Additionally, each course typically includes a progress tracker that shows how much of the course content has been completed. Furthermore, students might receive regular feedback from mentors who play a key role in guiding them through their studies. These mentors can provide insights into progress and offer suggestions for areas that may need additional focus. For more detailed and specific tracking options, students are encouraged to explore the resources available in their student portal or consult the relevant sections of the WGU website.
