What is Saluqi Degree?
Saluqi Degree is a web‐based audit tool designed to help students and advisors monitor progress toward degree completion. Saluqi Degree combines Southwest Tennessee Community College’s degree requirements and the student’s completed coursework into a format that gives the student a complete audit at a glance.
