About the APR
Your Academic Progress Report (APR) in Workday allows you to track your degree progress. The APR is a tool to help you plan your degree and is subject to final approval by your department and faculty. You should consult your department for specialization requirements or Science Advising for faculty level requirements and general BSc degree inquiries.
How Do I Find the APR?
You will first need to log into Workday.
- Click the “Academics” tab in the “Your Top Apps” menu on the right side of your Workday homepage.
- Then, click “View My Academic Progress” under “Academic Records”.
In your APR, you will notice a section called “Overall Academic Progress” which is a summary of your credits, including required, in progress, and completed. Beneath the summary, you will find your specific faculty and specialization requirements.
Note that students in Integrated Science specializations do not have the summary and specialization sections, but do have the faculty requirements section.
How Do I Read the APR?
Below are the sections and terms you’ll find in your Academic Progress Report (APR) used to break down your degree progress.
Academic Progress Wheel
The Academic Progress Wheel displays the percentage of academic requirements you have completed for your program. The Wheel does not show how many specific credits you have completed and a requirement is not counted if it is still in progress, so you should view your full Academic Progress Report (APR) for complete details. Below is an example of the Academic Progress Wheel.
The Wheel determines a percentage based on completion of all components of a requirement. For example, both SCIE 113 and another communications course are required before the Wheel will update to reflect that the Communications Requirement is complete.
Some academic requirements consist of a single course and others may include multiple courses. The Wheel counts the total number of requirements (not courses) within your program of study. The example in the image above has 31 requirements. Completing any one of those requirements will change the percentage by an equal amount. For example, completing the Lab Requirement (1 course) will change the percentage the same amount as completing the Communications Requirement (2 courses).
Cumulative Average
Cumulative Average refers to the average of all grades you have received for completed courses. It does not count courses in progress.
Credits Defined and Credits Satisfying
Credits Defined refers to the total number of credits you need to complete your degree. Credits Satisfying refers to your completed credits.
Unused Registrations
Courses you are registered in that are not being used to meet your program requirements are called your Unused Registrations. You will notice a “Reason” column which explains why a course cannot be used to meet your requirements.
What does the APR include (and not include)?
The Academic Progress Report (APR) tracks your progress towards completion of your BSc degree.
Students in specializations including Forensic Sciences, Biotechnology and General Science cannot use the Academic Progress Report in Workday and must consult the Academic Calendar to check progress towards graduation. Any questions about your progress should be directed to:
- Biotechnology: your specialization/departmental advisor
- General Science: Science Advising
- Forensic Sciences: your departmental advisor if you are inquiring about a specialization, or Science Advising if you are inquiring about a faculty-level requirement
Students completing a minor specialization cannot track the minor through the APR. Your primary specialization (e.g., major) can be viewed in the APR and you must track your minor independently.
Students in a Dual Degree specialization must cross-reference two APRs, one for each degree.
Evaluated Academic Requirements Report
The Evaluated Academic Requirements (EAR) report can be used for comparing your current degree program or specialization progress with a different degree program or specialization that you might be considering transferring to. You can refer to the Workday Tutorials site for a step-by-step guide on using the report. Note that the EAR is not your Academic Progress Report (APR).
