Welcome to YOUR newest advising tool, DARS!
DARS - What is it?
DARS is a tool to assist in the advising process. It can help you and your
advisor in the process of course selection and academic program planning
to make sure you are on-track for graduation. Your audit will:
- Show the courses you have completed and how they pertain to your
degree;
- Take the guesswork out of choosing courses by listing all courses you
still need to complete your degree;
- Allow you to track your degree-progress 24-7;
- Provide a consistent and up-to-date record for you
and your counselor/advisor to work from.
What DARS Is NOT!
- It
is not a transcript
- It
is not intended to report student achievement to outside parties (only
your transcript should be used for this purpose)
- It
is not error-proof! As with any product, there is a small possibility of
error. We strive to make all audits error-free, but working closely with
an advisor and counselor is recommended. If something doesn't seem right
on your audit, you should contact us immediately.

A Few Tips For Reading Your
Audit
- Developmental credits (those numbered below 1000) are used to
calculate your GPA, but do not count toward completion of your degree.
They are prerequisite courses to your degree and are listed at the
end of your audit.
- Quarter courses may not match with semester requirements.
- The audit lists your program of study and year you started that
program as you reported it to Admissions.
- The catalog year is listed to identify which program requirements
you're completing.
- If you suspect some information on your audit is inaccurate,
you need to contact us.
- To graduate from RCTC, you must meet the graduation requirements
in effect at the time of first enrollment.
- If graduation requirements for that program have changed subsequent
to the time of first enrollment, you may elect to graduate under
the new criteria.
- When a student leaves RCTC for 4 or more consecutive terms, the
student must meet the graduation requirements in place at the term
of re-enrollment.
Transfer Credits:
Transfer credits are listed on your audit with a "T" preceeding
the grade to indicate "transfer". Transfer students will
receive an official transfer evaluation and program audit from the
admissions office once the official evaluation is complete. The evaluation
should be used when meeting with your advisor or counselor.
