WHAT IS DARS?
DARS is an automated degree audit system, developed at Miami University of Ohio, which produces a document called a DARS report (or DARS audit). DARS is intended to enhance the advising process by providing an immediate analysis of how a student is progressing toward completion of a degree.
WHAT IS A DARS REPORT?
A DARS report is a record of an undergraduate student's progress toward a
degree or Certificate Program. It
shows which requirements have been completed and which requirements still
remain to be completed. With a few exceptions, DARS reports are available to undergraduate
students. Currently, there are no active plans for the use of DARS for
graduate or professional students.
Because DARS uses the on-line student record, the course data should be up-to-date. If a student has pre-enrolled, the courses for which the student has enrolled can be included in the audit. This allows a student to verify how these courses fulfill requirements and make any changes, if necessary, before the semester begins. For students who are interested in pursuing other majors or degree programs, "what-if" DARS reports can be run to see how these courses might count toward other programs.
