Students should work with their Academic and Career Planning Specialist to assist in mapping out classes semester-by-semester, as well as setting academic, personal, and professional goals. This will help to ensure on-time degree completion. In most cases, and unless approved by an Academic and Career Planning Specialist, students should enroll in at least 15 hours per semester. In addition, students are expected to use their Degree Audit (DARS) to develop a plan and review their progress towards graduation with their Academic and Career Planning Specialist or Faculty Mentor.
Every major has a checksheet that outlines individual program requirements. You can access your major checksheet by following this link to the BGSU Catalog, selecting the type of program in which you are enrolled, and using the A-Z menu to find your major program.
What is my DARS Report?DARS is a system that allows students to access current information about their academic record. DARS will show all of a student’s completed coursework and which requirements the courses fulfill, as well as the remaining requirements a student must complete to earn a degree.
