Degree Audit Report System (DARS)

How do I find out which of the degree requirements I've completed?

  • Review your Degree Audit Report (DAR) at the beginning of your senior year. Discuss the audit with a college adviser or your major adviser if you have any questions.

  • A Degree Audit Report, commonly called a "degree check," is a report that compares your record to the requirements for the degree. The University creates two separate audits, one for the College requirements and one for the major requirements.

  • The University now has a computerized Degree Audit Reporting System (DARS), which makes it possible for you to request your own audit through Bear Facts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q - I am a senior and I have checked my DAR regularly through the years. Is there any reason for me to request another one now?

A - Yes. it is a good idea to request an updated DAR after each term to insure that your records are complete and accurate. For graduation planning purposes, it is a particularly good idea to request a DAR at the beginning of your senior year.

Q - If my DAR shows something that I think is a mistake, what should I do?

A - As soon as you spot an error, visit the college office or major department and point it out. The college office has a Degree Audit Report Correction Request available at our front desk at 113 Campbell Hall; come fill one of those out, and we will work on your DAR until it is correct.
