Degree Progress Report (DPR)
The Degree Progress Report is an online self-serve tool that allows students to track their progress towards their degree. The Degree Progress Report checks the requirements that are needed for you to graduate in your degree program as per the Undergraduate Calendar. DPR checks all of the courses on your official record that you have taken at York towards your degree. Based on this automated review, it shows you what requirements you have already completed, what requirements you still need to complete and what is currently in progress.
