What is DARS

UB DARS (University at Buffalo Degree Audit Reporting System) is an automated system that generates a report of each student’s UB and transfer coursework matched with the student’s degree requirements. Coursework satisfying university, general education, and major requirements is identified. The report also identifies courses that will satisfy specific degree requirements yet to be completed.

NOTE: DARS is not a transcript. DARS is a tool to monitor progress for current students who have not graduated. The Transcript Request Form is used for graduates or current students to request UB academic history within an official document.

The DARS report is an advising tool and graduation check designed to assist the student, advisor, and the university in determining the student’s progress toward completion of all requirements.

The DARS report is also used in the department application process. Matriculated students apply for acceptance to major and/or minor programs by bringing a copy of their current report directly to that department. Additional information may be required.

DARS reports for all matriculated students are available on MyUB (requires UBit name and password).

Course-to-course articulation is the result of a formal determination by faculty in an academic department. It compares courses or sequences of courses offered at other campuses to UB courses or requirements. Continuing UB students and students transferring to UB find the web application TAURUS, Transfer Articulation and University Requirements at UB System, to be a valuable planning tool for selecting summer coursework and preparing to matriculate at UB. It displays course articulation from more than 2,800 campuses. TAURUS is on the web at http://taurus.buffalo.edu.

DARS will be used for evaluating University requirements for graduation purposes (ie. General Education, total credits, residency, GPAs, etc.)
