How To Interpret Degree Audit Reports (DARS)

This guide is designed to aid the interpretation of your DARS report. DARS provides you and your advisor with information on the new Liberal Studies program and your major/degree requirements. Please read this guide carefully and direct your questions to the Office of Academic Records and Summer School or your academic advisor.

DARS will take your liberal studies and major requirements and break them into requirement sets. Within each requirement set there is a set of sub-requirements. If you glance at your degree audit, you will note there will be an "OK" or "NO"to the left of each requirement and a "+" or "-" by each sub-requirement. If a sub-requirement has not been met (-), the requirement will read "NO." Therefore, before you can graduate, each requirement on your report must say "OK." In cases where requirements are not met, DARS will tell you what must be done to complete your graduation requirements.

Organization of the Report

	Requirement status indicator (ex. NO, OK, IP, OPT). See legend.
	Each requirement set begins with a text line which gives general information of what the set contains.
	EARNED line - states total hours earned and in progress within requirement set.

Sub-Requirements

- Requirement sets are made up of one or more sub-requirements each of which is also numbered. A sub-requirement
contains the following information:

	Each sub-requirement has a status indicator of (+, -, OR). See legend above.
	Each sub-requirement also contains a text line with instructions followed by:
	Number of credits and/or courses taken
	Courses used to total the above credits, identifying the semester/year taken and the grade earned
	NEEDS line for any sub-requirement not yet complete listing the number of courses and/or number of credits needed to complete the sub-requirement. Will disappear when sub requirement is met.
	SELECT FROM line listing courses to choose from to complete the sub-requirement.

Once all the required sub-requirements for a requirement set are complete, the requirement set indicator becomes "OK"
and only the courses used to satisfy the set are listed below the Earned Line.

Things To Remember:

	Please check the accuracy of your audit report carefully. Contact your advisor or the Office of Academic Records and Summer School in 107 Old Main if there is a discrepancy on your report.
	It is the student's responsibility to complete all graduation requirements whether or not they have been identified on the report.
