DARS upgrade in progress

K-State’s Degree Audit Reporting System (DARS) is undergoing an upgrade. DARS is a reporting tool that provides individualized analysis of a student's academic progress toward a specific degree.

The DARS upgrade begins at 7 a.m. Thursday, Dec. 5 and will be completed before 8 a.m. Monday, Dec. 9. During this period of time:

▪ Users will be unable to run new DARS audits in K-State Online or KSIS.

▪ All DARS audits run in KSIS prior to Thursday, Dec. 5, will be deleted.

▪ Advisors can access existing DARS audits in K-State Online until Monday, Dec. 9.

▪ All other KSIS functions are available during the upgrade.

On Monday, Dec. 9, students and advisors will be able to use these new features in DARS.

DARS audits will run only through KSIS, providing a consistent access method for advisors and students.

▪ Pre-run DARS audits will run every seven days in KSIS, reducing the need for students and advisors to run them as often.

DARS audits can still be run on-demand to reflect newly changed data, such as grade changes, new enrollments, etc.

DARS audits will have enhanced formatting and be available as a PDF. Font sizes and colors have been changed to improve readability.

DARS exceptions will be entered in a web-based environment.

To follow the status of the DARS upgrade, view the IT Status Page page.
