Transfer work is not a part of every student's DARS audit. Only those students admitted Fall 2003 and beyond have their transfer courses entered into DARS and therefore showing on an audit. Students admitted prior to Fall 2003 have none of their transfer courses entered into DARS.
Because of the above differentiation, there are two types of transfer evaluations:
Both of these types of evaluations give the same information.
Transfer audits are meant to take the place of the hand-written evaluation sheets for students admitted to the University since the advent of DARS. Just as with hand-written evaluation sheets, transfer audits will be sent to students as their transfer work comes in.
These audits, like general education audits, are not able to be generated by the students themselves. The hand-written evaluation sheets always have been exclusively produced by the Transfer Evaluations Department. It will still probably be the case that the overwhelming majority of transfer audits will continue to be produced by these same people. However, it is now possible for others (anyone who can generate regular DARS audits) to also generate transfer audits. Specifically, there may be a need for the following offices to do this from time to time.
Producing a transfer audit is even simpler than generating regular DARS audits. Using the ISRS DARS Report screen, you only need to fill in:
Nothing else needs to be filled in.
It is worth noting that a transfer audit is not a static document. That is, the information given changes depending upon how far in advance of attendance the student has sent their transfer work. Students sending transfer work to us before the catalog governing their initial attendance exists, will be given a different audit than if that catalog was in existence. DARS is not able to be as detailed until we actually have access to the catalog they will be following. Of course, the students who obtained a less detailed transfer audit can get another (having more detail) at a later point in time.
The less detailed transfer audits can always be obtained for students by entering TRNSFER as the Degree Program in the above ordering instructions.
Transfer audits for engineering students are ordered using the following information on the ISRS DARS Report screen:
