Degree Progress Report (DPR)

Credential students must use the Degree Progress Report (DPR) to track their progress towards completing all credential program coursework. 

The DPR is the official record of your required credential courses to be recommended for a preliminary credential. You should review it regularly to make sure you are on track. You will only be able to review your DPR once you are a fully accepted credential candidate to the teaching credential program. 

How to view your DPR

1. Log in to your Portal.
2. Enter the Student Center. 
3. Use the ROAR drop-down menu on the left side. 
4. Select "R: Review Degree Progress Rpt". 

Important Information

• Carefully review your DPR for any missing prerequisites, in-program, and additional courses. 
• Courses with a red square next to the course will need attention. 
• If you have questions about your DPR or see anything that does not look right, email credentials@csuchico.edu.
