DARS BASICSThe audit is an online reporting tool used to track your progress toward degree completion. DARS (also called “degree audit”) incorporates all coursework (UC and transfer) and applies it to university, college, and pro-gram requirements. The audit will update automatically throughout your academic career, as you register for and complete additional courses.

WHAT THE AUDIT DOES• Identifies all requirements needed to complete a

degree program • Displays the courses you have already completed,

the grades received, and how each pertains to your degree requirements

• Specifies the courses and requirements that have not yet been satisfied

• Provides courses you may register for to complete the remaining requirements

ACCESSING DARSStudents access DARS through One-Stop online by selecting “Registration Information” or “Grades & Transcripts” in the left column, followed by “get my degree audit.” After clicking “Continue,” you will be prompted for your 6+2, which must be entered as low-ercase, and your password. If your usual Central Log-in password contains any disallowed characters*, you may have to change the password in order to log into DARS. We recommend bookmarking the log-in screen.

Please note: UC advisors log-in to DARS via the Regis-trar’s page. Make sure you are logging in via OneStop (as pictured) or your log-in will not work.
