Academic Requirements Report (ARR)

The ARR is a feature in the student dashboard that allows students to track their academic progress, including Core Curriculum, major, minor and other graduation requirements. It is an essential tool, in conjunction with a student’s degree plan, to ensure satisfactory academic progress.

The top of the ARR displays the progress of the Core Curriculum requirements.

The report view is defaulted to show satisfied requirements as closed and those that are unsatisfied as open. Once you have declared a major, the ARR will also indicate which major requirements you have completed and which you still need
to complete.

Using the ARR will ensure that you are aware of the Core Curriculum, major and graduation requirements you have completed or have yet to complete.

Sample Degree Plan

Each student is required to create a graduation plan with their academic adviser, which provides them with a roadmap to complete their degree requirements. For first-year students, this will be completed in the first term of second year. For transfer students, it will be completed their first term on campus.

The table below reflects a sample four-year course sequence.
