Follow these step-by-step directions on how to view your Degree Progress Report and create your Academic Plan
The Degree Progress Report (DPR) keeps track degree requirements for your currently declared program(s). It shows you how you are completing them. Your academic department may have department-specific resources for you as well.
A DPR isn鈥檛 considered an official 海角社区 transcript or record of completed coursework. It is an advisory guide and may not reflect completed information until the final graduation check. Changing your schedule, catalog year, repeating a course, completing a course with less than the minimum required grade, changing a major, minor, or concentration, or any other changes to the academic record may impact the information reflected on the DPR.
There could be a few things happening. If you don鈥檛 see any transfer credit at all, your transcript may not have arrived yet or it may still be in the queue for processing.
If you鈥檙e missing individual classes they may need to be evaluated to see if they are equivalent to a class here at 海角社区. Connect with an advisor in your academic department. Sometimes the transcript you sent doesn鈥檛 have final grades from your last semester at your previous institution. There are ways we can see what鈥檚 going on.
Good catch. This is something to watch out for. Many classes cannot be repeated and count toward graduation, but a few can. Check with an advisor in your department for more information and to see if any adjustments need to be made to your DPR. Don鈥檛 wait until you apply for graduation to do this!
Many academic departments have documents with suggestions for what to take each semester in order to graduate in 8 semesters. Check with your department to see what resources they have. Some departments also use a tool called the Academic Planner to help you do some long range planning.
It is best to meet with your academic advisor so they can educate you on classes to plan for an upcoming registration period and beyond.聽 During that meeting, they can educate you how to build your own plan or create a suggested plan for you that you can view via your Navigate student account.聽 You can also view a tutorial of the academic planner tool on the university鈥檚 academic advising website: 聽(scroll down to find the section labeled 鈥淎cademic Planner鈥). Having a digital plan in place and early helps students with a smoother registration experience.聽 Don鈥檛 delay and get your plan to prepare for registration today!

On a DPR you can see grades, your GPA, your catalog year, and information about any transfer credit counting toward your degree and how it applies to your currently declared program. You can also see the name of your assigned academic advisor. Knowing this information will help you plan a class schedule and prepare for a meeting with an academic advisor. Knowing this info will help you stay on track to graduate.
If your major, minor, certificate, credits completed, transfer credit, etc. doesn鈥檛 look correct or if something just doesn鈥檛 look right to you, . They may not always be the person to 鈥渇ix鈥 things, but they can get you connected with people who can answer your questions. Don鈥檛 wait. If something doesn鈥檛 look right, check it out.

Your DPR is your official degree progress report that shows how classes are meeting requirements for your degree, including transfer credits and any courses that you may have degree exceptions for. The DPR is what the university evaluates when you apply for graduation to ensure you have completed all requirements for your degree. Your Academic Planner tool is designed to help you (in partnership with an academic advisor) to design what semester to take your classes in. Soon, you will be able to register for classes off of this plan but for now, it’s a great tool to become familiar with so you can plan what classes to take and in what semester to keep you on track for completing your degree. Ask your academic advisor for more information.
