DARS (the Degree Audit Reporting System) is a tool for tracking your degree progress and requirements. Once you are admitted to PSU, follow these steps to run your DARS audit:
- Navigate to myPSU and log in
- Open the Academics page
- Select 'Degree Audit Reporting System (DARS)' from the Academic Planning section
- Complete the prompts to run the DARS audit
DARS audits are advising tools and are not an official record of earning a degree, major, minor, or certificate. You must apply to have a degree or certificate awarded.
DARS Tips
Catalog Year - You should work closely with your academic advisor to determine the best catalog year to use. As a first-year student, you will likely use the term you were admitted as your catalog year. If you are a transfer student, you may use the requirements from any catalog starting with the first year you attended an accredited college or university. However, you must use a catalog year within seven years of your term of graduation.
University Studies Placement - If you see a message that says "your University Studies Placement is not set", email us at askdars@pdx.edu including your name and student ID number to request placement.
