More Information: Course Format for DARS

Entering a course in the correct format:

• Field 1 - Enter a campus code: 1 = Bothell course; 2 = Tacoma course; 0 = All other courses
• Field 2 - Enter the prefix exactly as it appears on the audit:
  

  				HIST__
  				M_E___
  				FRENCH
  				H_A&S_
  			

• Field 3 - Enter the course number: 424, 1XX, 4** (any 400-level course)
• Field 4 - Enter a sequence number—ONLY if the student has identical transfer courses ending in XX
  

  				MATH  1XX 
  				MATH  1XX  01
  				MATH  1XX  02
  			

  Use the final two digits to tell DARS which course you want to use.

  Note: If the student has MATH 1XX at each of two or more schools, write to dars@u.washington.edu. We'll assign different codes.

  Tips:

  • You can do this yourself if the prefix belongs to your department. Just change one of them to, say, MATH 1XX 50 on the SRF 325-->330 screen.
