Beginning in Spring 2025, the Office of the Registrar will use the Degree Progress Report (DPR) to verify Veterans Affairs (VA) education benefit eligibility. This change, developed in collaboration with the Degree Progress Unit, replaces the current manual process that often requires multiple rounds of communication between advisors and registrar staff.
By using the DPR, the Office of the Registrar can more efficiently determine whether a student’s enrolled courses meet degree requirements, an important step since the VA only covers courses required for graduation. This will reduce the need for advisor involvement in most cases and help streamline the experience for students and staff. Advisors will only need to step in for rare cases, like when students hit 180 credits and take courses not reflected in the DPR.
As we roll out this new approach, the Degree Progress Units appreciates your patience and welcomes feedback on how it’s working.
