After scheduling your appointment, it is necessary that you come prepared by first reviewing your Degree Audit in DARS. To do so,
- Log into My Akron (formerly Zipline).
- Select the tab for Students.
- Click on DARS logo - this will open the DARS “Audit Request” screen.
- To run your current academic program (major) of instruction, click the “run” button.
- To check your progress in a different academic program (major) of instruction, select the “second choice” to run a different major or minor. From the drop down boxes select the chosen degree, major or minor.
- Scroll down the screen and click on “Submit a New Audit” and a new window will open with the DARS report.
Once admitted to the department of their major, students have two advisers: a faculty adviser in their major field of study (referred to as a faculty mentor) and a college adviser.
