The Degree Audit Report System (DARS) is one of the primary tools that will help you keep track of the progress you are making in completing your education plan. It's important that you become familiar with DARS because it tracks what courses you have taken, which courses are in process and what courses you have remaining. For those of you transferring credits, DARS also includes a listing of the courses that were accepted in transfer and how those courses fit into your education plan at this institution.
You can more efficiently complete your educational program by carefully keeping track of your progress and also completing a plan for future courses. It's recommended that you work with a counselor or advisor as you track your progress and plan for future courses. Before your meeting, it's a great idea to review your course requirements and then develop a tentative scheduleï¿‚ï¾ term by term. This will help to make your academic advising much more productive!
If you have changed your academic program since the time of your application, you will want to make sure you officially change your education plan with the institution. This will ensure that your DARS is tracking the progress towards your intended education plan.
