DARS (Degree Audit Reporting System): Stay on Track to Graduate

Keep Your Narrative on Track

Sample DARS:

Degree requirements can sometimes feel intimidating and confusing. While it is important not to see your education as a set of “check boxes” to complete, it is also important to make sure you are staying on track for graduation.

This is where DARS comes in. Using DARS, you can see how your past, current, and even future planned courses count towards any degree.

What Can DARS Help You Do?

DARS personalizes degree requirements and helps you understand what they mean for you.

You should check your DARS at least once every semester.

You can use the “Degree Planner” to sketch out your graduation plan.

You can run a “What-If” audit for any degree, major, or certificate.
