Requirement Terms and Catalog Rights
Catalog rights are at the foundation of the Degree Progress Report (DPR). Requirement Terms determine which catalog year a student is pursuing. Using the requirement term, the DPR generates requirements for each program, plan, and subplan based on the corresponding catalog's requirements. If the requirement term is not up to date, the DPR will not show accurate information for the catalog a student is pursuing. For this reason it is crucial that requirement terms are updated as soon as a student decides to pursue a different catalog year.
Note:Changing the requirement term or plan/sub-plan can lead to loss of already entered exceptions. Before making either of these changes, thoroughly evaluate the student's DPR to assess whether existing exceptions are applicable to the new requirement term or plan.Requirements with exceptions are denoted with
