Study Plans for Spring 2007 Registration Have a New Name
Beginning this fall, DDP is changing the name of the document used to chart academic progress from "study plan" to "Academic Progress Report" (APR); the advising team thinks this name more accurately reflects what the they feels to be the role of the spreadsheet. Currently DDP advisors are working to update students' APRs for spring 2007 registration, which opens November 6; the most recent copy of each student’s APR will be posted to My DDP no later than October 20.

Stay Informed . . . Use myWSU & My DDP
We encourage you to become familiar with the best way to get information and avoid problems or costly oversights. Routinely logging in to myWSU (my.wsu.edu) allows you to view any notices you receive, including all of the official WSU and DDP notices you get no other way (e.g., billing and payment reminders).
The links in myWSU also allow you easy access to other pages you should be checking regularly for specific information and services available no where else (e.g., My DDP). Only in My DDP can you view your advising Web page, where you get your most current academic progress report and restricted SLNs for registration, or view course-related details to track media orders or request proctored exams. If you do choose to log in to other pages directly, such as WebCT, please take time to check your myWSU and My DDP pages frequently to get all the information you need.
