Requirem ent Groups / Requirem ents / Requirem ent Lines

Requirement Groups (RG) contain all requirements for the major. They are indicated by a dark blue bar Requirements (RQ) contain the requirement line items. They are indicated by a light blue bar Requirement Line I tems (L) contain the course requirements that need to be met. They are indicated as a line item

Requirem ent Group (RG) Requirem ents (RQ) Requirem ent Lines (L)

How do I read a DPR?

Requirement Lines may not be set up the same way they appeared in DARS. Or’d courses will appear in their

• wn separate Line

Requirements (RQ) and Requirement Lines (L) state what is needed to satisfy the requirement or line.

The Status column indicates the status of the course(s). Currently registered courses and courses with IP grades are considered In Progress. If the course has been completed

• r is currently enrolled, the

“When” column indicates the term completed or enrolled. Courses that have not been taken will display when the course is typically offered (if indicated in the Course Catalog).

How do I read a DPR?

As requirement lines are satisfied, they will display a green check and the requirement line will collapse. Requirement lines that were or’d with another line will disappear. Currently registered coursework will satisfy requirements. Once all requirements in a Group have been satisfied, the Group will collapse.

Course lists in a requirement line will sort numerically. Want to sort by a different column? Click on the column header! This course list was sorted by “When”.

New and im proved things in the DPR!

What’s new and im proved?

Consistency!!!

All majors follow the same standard template:

• The General Education group appears before the Major group for

undergraduates

• The cumulative GPA and credit requirements appear at the beginning of

the Major group for all careers

• For undergraduates, the minimum GPA and minimum credits needed for

the degree are only listed once at the beginning of the Major group

What’s new and im proved?

Consistency!!!

All careers have an I mportant Notes group:

• The Important Notes group contains information pertinent to that career
• If students have courses that fall within a category listed in this group,

those courses will appear under the appropriate Line item

• A list of all courses taken, including repeated courses, can be found in this

group

What’s new and im proved?

Im provem ents!!!

For the Undergraduate career:

• The Final Credits in Residence requirement line is active as of the student’s

first term. The graduation application no longer dictates when this requirement “turns on”

• The minimum credits required for Post Baccalaureate students no longer

requires manual intervention. A separate Requirement Group (RG) will appear for these students

What’s new and im proved?

Im provem ents!!!

Course lists contain more than just the course number:

• DPR course lists not only display the course number, they also display the

course description, units (credit hours), and when the course is

• ffered/ was taken
• Courses in a course list are tied to the Course Catalog. When a course

number or description changes, so does the course list (as long as the change was made to the same course ID in the catalog).

• Courses that have become inactive no longer appear in the course list
• Why is the course description a hyperlink????

Auto I CT requirements are now a part of the DPR:

• Students not admitted into their college will see a “College Admission (ICT)

Requirement” RG

• These RG’s only accept courses that have been completed – currently

registered courses will NOT satisfy this requirement

• Once a student has been admitted into their college, the “College

Admission (ICT) Requirement” will disappear
