Degree Progress Audit

You can use the Degree Progress Audit (DPA) page to review the progress of a student towards completing their degree. You can also use the Degree Progress Audit to:

  • View a visual representation of the student's progress

  • View information about their program and GPAs

  • Review the status for courses (such as Future, Scheduled, Current, Completed, or Dropped)

  • Change their required courses (such as add, waive, and undo the waive for courses)

  • Add requirement rules to courses to ensure that the courses meet degree requirements

The illustration shows the data elements Anthology Student uses in the Degree Progress Audit.​

DPA Configuration

Automated Multiple Fulfillment

The Automated Multiple Fulfillment feature allows a course to fulfill more than a single course requirement. An example is an interdisciplinary course that could satisfy a course requirement and an elective requirement. If automated multiple fulfillment is enabled for the program version the student is enrolled in, both requirements would be fulfilled.

However, while a course and the grade are displayed in multiple categories, they only count once for the entire program. A course can fulfill requirements in multiple categories across the DPA. Only one course requirement within a category can be fulfilled. Using the prior example of an interdisciplinary course, if one instance is a required course and the other an option in the elective pool and both are in the same category, only one course requirement will be fulfilled.

When the Automated Multiple Fulfillment feature is enabled, the completed course is applied to the first category based on the Course Fulfillment Order (CFO) (refer to Background for Course Fulfillment Orders) and fulfills additional instances of the course requirement in other categories based on what was configured for Automated Multiple Fulfillment for that program version. This means that if the configuration states that Automated Multiple Fulfillment can be used in up to two categories if a completed course can satisfy the requirement in those two categories, it will. If there happened to be an additional category where that course requirement exists, it would not show as fulfilled because the configuration is limited to two.

If Multiple Fulfillment is disabled in the second enrollment/Program Version, the course instance in the first category based on CFO is completed and other instances are not impacted.
