Decoding Your DARS, Baker University Center Theatre
Hieroglyphics? Secret code? Looks like it, but a DARS is easy to figure out after a basic lesson. No matter what your major, this presentation will demystify the symbols on this important document. Every student gets an updated Degree Audit Reporting System or DARS report every quarter. Even if you don't learn to love it, you hafta learn to read it.
