The new DARS SAPR is intended to provide the reader with a better reflection of the student’s progress toward their degree requirements. Everything is outlined in a simple-to-follow format using boldface type, color-coding text, indentation, dashed lines separating each requirement, and boxes.
This section provides information and screen shots of the following:
Header
The header contains identifying information, such as: date prepared, program of study, summary of transfer units, and student's catalog year.
The header only appears on the first page of the SAPR.

Using color-coded text, all specific degree requirements are outlined on the SAPR. If the requirement has been met, it will be displayed in green text, and if the requirement has not been met, the text will be displayed in red. This format easily identifies what requirements still need to be met.
Depending on your department, some of the specific requirements may include, but are not limited to:

UA Quality Hours and Cumulative GPA
Upper Division Units, University Composition,
Mid-Career Writing Assessment, and Second Language Requirements

Some majors have sub-requirements within the specific program which must be met in addition to the University requirements.
Back To Top
The major requirements are those requirements within the student's major. The major requirement will be color coded in green or red, depending on whether all of the sub-requirements have been met. If only a plus (+) signs are listed for each sub-requirement, the major requirement will be in green; indicating the major requirement has been completed.
If there is at least one minus (-) sign, the major requirement will be in red; indicating there are still outstanding sub-requirements
that must be completed before the major requirement is considered complete.

These courses are those which the student took, but could not be applied toward a requirement or sub-requirement within the degree program(s).
Examples of such courses are courses transferred from other institutions, general elective courses, or other UA course work.
It is advisable to consult with your academic advisor to make certain
that none of the courses listed in this section can be used to fulfill other degree requirements.

Courses in this area may include non-transferable units, remedial units, courses in progress ('K' grades), etc.

A legend appears at the bottom of the SAPR, which explains all acronyms, such as terms, school types, and symbols.
