FAQs

Why can't I see all of the requirements on a DARS audit when requesting a DARS exception in DARSX?

There are several roles in the DARSX system.  Academic advisors are usually assigned a role that only allows them to view major/certificate requirements.  Deans will usually be able to see School/College requirements as well as General Education requirements.
