Your Degree Progress Report
Your Degree Progress Report (also known as your DPR) is the most important tool to understand as a Cal Poly student. Like the Curriculum Sheet, the Degree Progress Report displays all of your degree requirements to graduate. The Evaluations Unit uses the Degree Progress Report to post your degree so it is important to make sure the courses you have and will be taking are fulfilling the requirements you expected in your DPR.
Your DPR should be ran at least once per quarter to track your progress to degree.
The Degree Progress Report is also broken down into sections that are described below.
As a reminder, your Degree Progress Report will reflect your current Catalog. At this time, the Degree Progress Report for the 2026-2028 is not available.
How to access your Degree Progress Report
- Log in to my.calpoly.edu
- Go to your Student Center under My Apps on the left hand side
- Click on Degree Progress Report under the drop-down menu and then click on the arrows
How to read your Degree Progress Report
Scrolling through the Degree Progress Report can be a little confusing. It can be helpful to look at the Degree Progress Report with your Curriculum Sheet in hand as it is broken up into sections similarly to your Curriculum Sheet.
You can view your Degree Progress Report through the PDF or online.
If you view it online, you can select "Hide Satisfied Requirements" to see what requirements you will need to plan for.
At the top, you will find General Undergraduate Degree Requirements. These are important, but don't be concerned because most of these requirements will be met as you complete your courses.
The United States Cultural Pluralism Requirement and the Graduation Writing Requirement are also in this section. We will review both of those requirements below.
Next your General Education Requirements appear.
After GE Courses, you will see a section for your Major Requirements, which includes your support courses. If you have a declared concentration, then this section will also appear below your Major Requirements.
It is so important that you READ all the notes for each section in the DPR. Not reading the notes may mean you miss important information and take a class that is not necessary. If you have any questions, let us know at eadvise@calpoly.edu. We are here to help!
