Decode or NVL, I am trying to avoid duplicates

I am trying to avoid duplicate records. I want sql to pull anyone who has a ('AU','RE', 'RW') record but I only need one to show in my results. Can you use Decode or Nvl for something like this?

select distinct r1.sfrstcr_rsts_code, spriden_last_name, spriden_first_name, s1.saradap_appl_date, s1.saradap_appl_no

from saradap s1, sfrstcr r1, spriden

where spriden_pidm = sfrstcr_pidm

and spriden_pidm = saradap_pidm

and s1.saradap_appl_no = (select max( s2.saradap_appl_no)

                  from saradap s2

                  where s2.saradap_pidm = s1.saradap_pidm)

and sfrstcr_pidm (+) = saradap_pidm

and saradap_term_code_entry = sfrstcr_term_code

and r1.sfrstcr_rsts_code in ('AU','RE', 'RW')

and r1.sfrstcr_reg_seq = (select max (r2.sfrstcr_reg_seq)

              from sfrstcr r2

            where r2.sfrstcr_reg_seq = r1.sfrstcr_reg_seq)

AND saradap_term_code_entry = 202210

--and stvmajr_code = saradap_term_code_entry

order by spriden_last_name

--This may be a place to start.
--Note: This query returns all students who meet the following criteria:
--1. At least one record in SARADAP where SARADAP_TERM_ENTRY = SFRSTCR_TERM_CODE 
--2. At least one record in SPRIDEN where SPRIDEN_CHANGE_IND is null
--3. At least one record in SFRSTCR where RSTS_CODE in AU,RE,RW
--It doesn't return all the distinct RSTS_CODE in SFRSTCR.
--It does check that a record is in SFRSTCR for TERM=202210 and reports the RSTS_CODE for the MAX(CRN)
--To get an understanding of how this query works, I suggest running the INNER query first.
