Advising

Degree Audit Reporting System (DARS)

Undergraduate students and their advisers use the Degree Audit Reporting System to plan and track a student's academic career at Temple. DARS works in concert with the Integrated Student Information System (ISIS) to show how a student's course work to date, including transferred courses, will fulfill the academic requirements necessary to complete a degree in the major field of study. A "What-if" DARS allows students to see how their completed course work would apply and what requirements would still need to be fulfilled, if they change their selection of major(s).

To access your individual DARS report, see http://owlnet.temple.edu
