Whether you're graduating soon or preparing for fall 2022 registration, checking the status of your L&S Requirements is an essential step to take. View your Academic Progress Report on CalCentral to track your remaining requirements. Please note: Not all major and minor departments use the APR to confirm requirements, so please check in with them directly. Never used the APR? Follow the simple steps in this informational video!
