DARS, short for Degree
Audit Reporting System, is an automated system
that compares student's completed coursework
with the requirements for their degree and produces
a report ( sometimes called an audit) detailing
their progress towards that degree. The report
also lists the classes that need to be taken
making it a great planning tool for future semesters.
All of this information is contained in your
DARS report which is available online via DARSweb.
A DARS report can also evaluate
different scenarios (degree options like minors,
second degrees, changing the degree you are
seeking) that you may want to consider. The
project is managed centrally from the Office
of the University Registrar.
Although DARS is currently
only available to Undergraduate Students, there
are plans to add the Graduate School.
In short, a DARS report
(audit) will show:
- which degree requirements
have been met
- which requirements are
incomplete and what has to be done to complete
them
- how transfer courses apply
toward requirements
- the student's current GPA
- any exceptions that
have been made for a student
