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 offered/ 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????
