Degree Audit Reporting System (DARS)

What is DARS?

  • DARS is a computerized analysis of a student’s academic progress
  • DARS shows where completed transfer and K-State course work fits in to a degree program
  • DARS is a reliable advising tool
  • DARS is a reliable tool to check degree completion

How does DARS work?

  • Degree programs and transfer equivalency information coded into DARS have been approved by the academic dean’s offices with input from the appropriate academic departments.
  • DARS report requirements have been encoded by the Registrar’s Office, based on the catalog requirements of degree programs. DARS transfer equivalency information is mainted by the Office of Admissions.
  • The DARS program automatically checks to ensure that University and degree specific policies and procedures are followed.
  • If a department modifies/changes the degree requirements for an individual student, the dean’s office must approve and electronically record the changes. Approved changes will appear on the next run DARS report.
