View DARS audit(s) for advisees

The KSU Advisor Center allows advisors to run a DARS report both as a Bulk Operation (multiple advisees) and on demand for an individual advisee.  The audits are generated as a PDF and appear in a new window or additional tab.

Note:  You must have the pop-up blocker on your web browser disabled to view DARS Audit Reports.  Refer to How to disable web browser pop-up blockers for step-by-step directions.

  1. Log in to KSIS with your eID and password at: https://ksis.k-state.edu.

  2. Select KSU Advisor Center from the KSIS Links on the right of the KSIS home page.
