For staff (faculty, advisors, student workers) who have already logged into DARS, you may request a What If DARS audit for a student by following these steps:
Step 1:
Select a School/College and Degree Plan Name in the "What-If" report section of the request page. (For a list of Degree Plans for the selected school/college, click the Selection Help button)
If you know the Degree Plan Name you can also type it in.
Step 2:
Modify selection fields to reflect what degree plan attributes you wish to run.
A. Whenever you change School, College, Population you must click "Apply Rules" to be sure the correct year's requirements will be included in the What If audit. For example, if a student is in a declared program in College of Engineering, but you want to run a "What If" audit for a major in College of Letters & Science that the student has not yet declared, you would select that major (Degree Plan) using the Selection Help button, and then click Apply Rules.
For detailed instructions and additional examples of the uses and implications of Apply Rules for Catalog Year and Alt Catalog Year rules, please see KB 94535 (coming soon).
