DARS

DARS is an acronym for Degree Audit Reporting System.

It is a computer program that produces advising information illustrating an undergraduate student's progress in fulfilling the graduation requirements of their chosen degree program.

 

DARS uses a student's degree program information (degree, major, minor, catalog year) on file in the student records system, to create a "template" of that program. Then all of a student's courses are placed into the template to produce a document called an audit. The audit shows which requirements are completed and which are left to be done. It can be used by students and advisors to monitor a student's progress towards graduation.

 

 

DARS is not a replacement for the advising process whereby students are in communication with their department and assigned advisor.

DARS should also not be considered a replacement for the University catalog, although the DARS program is based very heavily upon that document.  DARS is a tool to assist students and advisors.

DARS does not produce audits for graduate students.
