Navigating to DPR and MAP

This is a tutorial only. No log in is required.

Introduction

The Degree Progress Report (DPR) details your progress toward completion of bachelor’s degree requirements. It lists coursework completed at CSUN and other schools from which you submitted official transcripts. It places coursework into CSUN degree requirement sections and identifies requirements you still need to satisfy in order to graduate.

You have two options for viewing and printing your DPR:

  1. DPR in Portable Document Format (PDF)
  2. My Academic Planner (MAP) Interactive DPR

Both versions report the same information with one exception: Only MAP interactive DPR lets you plan courses for future semesters and places them into degree requirement sections.

This guide explains how to navigate to and print DPR and MAP.

Note: Always use a DPR and MAP in consultation with your advisor before finalizing any decisions related to your academic plan (major).

Additional Information

If the DPR report does not run successfully and generates an error message, submit a DPR Review Request to explain the problem. You may also submit a DPR Review Request for other specific questions.

Note: Please do NOT submit a DPR Review Request if you have received a DPR Graduation Evaluation or if you have questions about major requirements. Instead, contact the Graduation Evaluation Office at the phone number listed on the DPR Graduation Evaluation, or consult your academic advisor about major requirements.
