DEGREE AUDIT PROCESS
Statement of Degree Candidacy Questionnaire
STEP 2: RUN A DARS REPORT VIA DEGREE AUDIT SYSTEM
1. Sign in to MyUCLA and run a new DARS Report via the Degree Audit System 2. View the report and be sure to select the option “OPEN ALL SECTIONS” 3. Confirm that a Technical Breadth Area has been declared. If this needs to be declared or updated, please login to UCLA MyEngineering and declare/or update your Technical Breadth Area and tracks. Please note, this will take at least 24 hours to update to the DARS Report. FOR BE, ChE, CEE, and MSE majors that you also declare Option/Pathway/Track*.*Options/pathways are only for ECE Majors in pre-Fall 14 catalogs only. 4. Review every section of the report to confirm information is accurate, including General Education coursework is fulfilling the correct Foundations and Category located towards the bottom of the report. 5. Please review if any courses are falling under the “Available Courses” section, that may contribute toward unfulfilled degree requirements. If there are courses falling here that should be meeting a requirement, then a HSSEAS petition for consideration is required. 6. If a student has submitted a petition and the status is pending for course substitution, the student is responsible for enrolling in a backup course until the petition is approved. Please note that enrollment deadlines will be enforced. 7. BEFORE moving on to STEP 3 below, confirm if there is anything on the DARS report that looks incorrect (e.g. credit missing that you thought you satisfied). Please refer any questions or concerns regarding the Degree Audit Process to: Message Center – Degree Auditor or visit OASA to meet with a Degree Auditor in person. 8. Lastly, if all areas of the DARS Report appear accurate, save the report as a PDF to your computer as you will need to attach it to the Statement of Degree Candidacy Questionnaire.Instructions to save DARS pdf:
1) log onto DARS
2) under the pie chart toggle OPEN ALL SECTIONS
3) toward the top right toggle PRINTER friendly
4) then right click on your mouse and you should get an option print to pdf
STEP 3: COMPLETE STATEMENT OF DEGREE CANDIDACY FORM – Due one quarter before degree expected term (Spring candidates must submit during weeks 1-3 of the Winter quarter).
STEP 4: RECEIVE OFFICIAL DEGREE AUDIT FROM OASA
If the Degree Audit Process was followed within the designated time period as instructed above, as a courtesy the OASA Degree Audit Team will send degree candidates an Official Degree Audit via a MyUCLA Notice with a link to MyEngineering that will have the student’s personalized audit.
This will confirm any remaining requirements needed to complete degree requirements in the last term. Please note, it is the ultimate responsibility of the student to confirm degree requirements. The Degree Audit Team will do their best to send the Official Degree Audit before the start of the student’s final term. If you followed the outlined Degree Audit Process above and did not receive an Official Degree Audit by the beginning of the final quarter be sure to send a message to the degree auditors via Message Center. From time to time the degree auditors will send emails regarding time sensitive information. When a student receives an Official Degree Audit it is important to confirm the following:
- Confirm the courses listed are accurate
- Keep for your records
- Utilize as a checklist for coursework to enroll in your last term
- Immediately email the Degree Audit Team, if there are any discrepancies to your degree audit as you will be held responsible for them.
STEP 5: RUN NEW DARS REPORT AFTER FINAL TERM’S ENROLLMENT
STEP 6: COMPLETE THE SENIOR EXIT SURVEY IN APRIL
STEP 7: REVIEW DARS AND TRANSCRIPTS ONCE FINAL GRADES HAVE BEEN POSTED
If you need to update your degree expected term, you should re-do steps 1, 2, and 3.
