Degree Audit Report System (DARS)

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

  • 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 system, DARS, which makes it possible for you to request your own audit through Bear Facts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q - If I'm a first-semester freshman, is there any reason for me to request a degree audit?

A - Yes, because as you probably already know, some requirements may be satisfied by high school coursework and test scores; it's a good idea to make sure those records are complete and accurate.

Q - If my Degree Audit shows something that I think (or know) is a mistake, what should I do?

A - Don't panic! There is plenty of time to get it fixed, and the University is not going to insist the audit is right if you point out a mistake. Our 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'll work on your DAR until it is correct.
