Degree Audit Report System
The Degree Audit Report System (DARS), or degree audit, shows academic progress toward completion of an undergraduate degree in a student’s declared or proposed major. The progress is measured by how UW courses, transfer courses, and courses in progress apply toward degree requirements.

The CS exception is no longer needed.
The DARS CS exception, not available on EARS, was previously used for these purposes:
Low Grade: To accept a course whose grade is below the department’s minimum. Please use the more appropriate RR exception, available on SDB SRU370 screen.
Areas of Inquiry: To allow special topics and ancient courses to apply, advisers may:
- Use an RU exception on the SDB (SRF370); or
- Select, on EARS, “Allow a course to count toward a major requirement” (even though this isn’t a major requirement).
Diversity: Adviser should only make this exception for courses within their respective college. Courses outside their college must be petitioned.
Reminder: Independent study, fieldwork and research courses must be reviewed and approved by the College offering the student’s major; for the College of Arts & Sciences, please send petitions to the Dean’s representative in Undergraduate Advising at the Gateway Center.

More Information: Specify a Quarter
To tell DARS to use the course taken, say, SPR 2006 only, enter it in both fields:
QTR Range:SPR/2006 through SPR/2006
To tell DARS to use all identically numbered courses from SPR/2006 through AUT 2006:
QTR Range:SPR/2006 through AUT/2006
Tip
If a student has more than one identical XX course, and if the quarter taken appears on the audit, you can use it instead of the sequence number.
