Additional Information:

DARS is an acronym for a program called the Degree Audit Reporting System. By comparing the college catalog degree requirements to the courses a student has completed, DARS tells students and advisors which requirements have been met, which are still outstanding, and the courses that will meet those requirements.

OBI is a comprehensive business intelligence platform that delivers a full range of analytic and reporting capabilities. DARS dashboards have been created in OBI that gather DARS data and present the data in a more readable/useful format for further analysis/reporting. The dashboards are DARS Course Demand, DARS Overview and DARS Requirements Needed.
