Audit Reporting System) Report is a degree audit that outlines a student's
graduation requirements. A student may print a D.A.R.S. Report at
any time. Students can request a D.A.R.S. Report at 209 Student Services
Building or their respective Advising Center.
Where do I print a D.A.R.S. report?
You can print a D.A.R.S. Report in 209 Student Services Building and
in some Advising Centers.
What does LD and UD mean on my Academic
History Report? An LD indicates that lower division (100-200
level) credit has been granted at UT for a course taken at another
institution, and that course does not exactly meet the description
for a UT course. A UD indicates that upper division (300-400 level)
credit has been granted at UT for a course taken at another institution,
and that course does not exactly meet the description for a UT course.
What University policies do I need to be aware of? Refer to the Degree Requirements section of
your Undergraduate Catalog.
Is there a fee for graduation?No, there is not a graduation fee for
undergraduate students.
How
do I know which catalog year I should be following?
Students generally use the catalog under which they entered the University.
However, you are able to use any catalog that has been in effect during
your attendance at UT provided the catalog has been in effect within
six years of the date of graduation.
I need to take my last class at another school.
What do I need to do?
Answer: Please note two important University Policies: the 60-hour
Rule, which requires a student to take a total of at least 60 hours
of their degree requirements at a four-year academic institution,
and the 30-hour Rule, which requires a student to take their final
30 hours of course work at UT. Your academic advisor and the Dean
of your college must approve any exception to these two rules.
How do I declare my major? After satisfying any prerequisite coursework
or GPA requirements (consult the Undergraduate Catalog), students
should go to their Advising Center to complete the necessary paperwork.
They will then be directed to the respective department to be assigned
a faculty advisor.
I don't understand why my D.A.R.S. report
says I need more classes than I think I do. What should I do?
Contact your academic advisor to discuss your Degree Audit.
