University of Colorado T ools used to assist with the certification process –DARS Degree Audit Reporting System –BAS Batch Audit Software & Reports from Batch audits –Singularity Document Management System

CU Boulder’s Process Individual DARS audits used year round by both Students and Advisors –Continuous use helps identify issues early on –Running an updated audit prior to course registration, lets the student see what requirements they are lacking and allows them to link to course descriptions for better course planning –Helps students stay on track to earning their degree

Individual Degree Audits Used year round by both Students and Advisors –Continuous use helps identify issues early on –Running an updated audit prior to course registration, lets the student see what requirements they are lacking and allows them to link to course descriptions for better course planning –Helps students stay on track to earning their degree

Exceptions Processed in the DARS System Advisors process exceptions to students degree requirement in DARS –keeps an electronic record of the exception (with approval information) –Helps the student have an accurate picture of where they are with completing their degree requirements

CollegeSource’s Batch Audit Software (BAS) Large batches of individual audits for each college –Output is a PDF of continuous individual student audits –Files are archived in Singularity as individual audits under each specific student as well as the entire large file

Graduation Check Batch Run Schedule Run #Information on when the run will occur 1 st RunDay after Census 2 nd Run4 weeks after initial run 3 rd Run1 week after the deadline for students to apply to graduate and have their name appear in the commencement program 4 th RunDay after our I/F conversion grading process for the semester 5 th RunDay after our final confirmed lists are due from our colleges 6 th Run3 Days before Degrees are posted on Transcripts

Reporting off of the Batch Audit Runs High level Yes/No status Yes = No = Including “IP” (In-Progress) courses = – After registration for the next term, two reports are provided 1)Includes “IP” courses 2)Excludes “IP” courses

Ways advisors are using the report Identify which students are not meeting their requirements early on in the semester – Add missing exceptions – Move the student to a future term if they will not be able to meet the requirements by the end of the term Identify if there is an encoding issue within the audit if all pending graduating students in a major are not meeting requirements – Sent to the degree audit staff to review encoding and correct where needed
