Degree Progress Report
The Degree Progress Report (DPR) at DePaul University provides a detailed look at your progress toward the completion of your degree requirements. It itemizes completed and in-progress DePaul coursework, accepted transfer coursework and test credit information, and shows requirements that have been completed and those that have not yet been satisfied. The DPR will show your major, minor and double-major requirements. Students who have not yet declared a major are able to run a What-If Report.
When would I use it?
- To check the requirements that you still need to satisfy
- To see which requirements are fulfilled by your completed, in-progress or transfer courses
- To prepare to see your advisor
Registering for First-Year Writing Courses
Completing your writing requirement in a timely manner is important in paving the way for your future success in school. These courses form the foundations for many of the more advanced courses you will take later in your college career. This is a main reason why these courses are part of the Liberal Studies Program/Honors Program first-year requirements.
Based on your directed self-placement results (or ACT/SAT scores if you were exempt from the writing placement), you were advised to register for WRD 102 or WRD 103. Many students begin taking First-Year Writing courses the first quarter in which they are enrolled at DePaul, and they continue to take these courses throughout their first year. Here are the various First-Year Writing courses that you may need to complete. You should plan to register for each course in the sequence until you have completed WRD 104 or *HON 101.
- WRD 102 Basic Writing II
- WRD 103 Composition & Rhetoric I
- WRD 104 Composition & Rhetoric II
- HON 100 Rhetoric/Critical Inquiry*
- HON 101 World Literature*
* HON 100 and HON 101 taken only by students in the Honors Program
Note: Students who have taken the Advanced Placement (AP) English Language and Composition Exam and scored a 4 or 5 or students who have earned college credit elsewhere for English composition should speak with an advisor about their First-Year Writing placement prior to registering for writing courses. For more additional information on writing course requirements, visit the
First-Year Writing Program.
Registering for Math Courses
Completing your math requirement in a timely manner is important in paving the way for your future success in school. These courses form the foundations for many of the more advanced courses you will take later in your college career, such as Scientific Inquiry or major-field courses. This is a main reason why these courses are part of the Liberal Studies Program/Honors Program first-year requirements.
Based on your math placement score, you were told the math course into which you placed. Many students begin taking appropriate math courses the first quarter in which they are enrolled at DePaul, and they continue to take these courses throughout their first year. Here is the Path to Math for LAS students. Please note the different math requirements for BA and BS students.
