Common FAQs regarding advising & registration
-
What is a DAR? How can I review my DAR?
A degree audit lists all of the requirements for your degree, including (but not limited to):
- Minimum number of hours required
- Advanced hours required
- Writing intensive hours required
- Residency hours (taken at Texas State) required
- Core requirements
- Major requirements
- Minor requirements
The degree audit will note if a requirement has or has not been fufilled, or if it is in progress. This is a useful tool to track progress toward degree completion. An "official DAR" has been reviewed by an academic advisor and has been approved by the college dean or a dean’s representative.
To review your degree audit:
- Go to your Catsweb Student Services page
- Navigate to Registration and Schedule Changes
- Log in to Self-Service Banner with your Texas State ID number (Axxxxxxxx)
- Click on the "Student" tab
- Select "Degree Audit"
When the page loads, it will display your required coursework and how your completed courses and currently enrolled courses fit into the requirements.
