Implementing uAchieve

The University of Minnesota is starting a project this July to implement uAchieve, the most recent version of DARS (the system that delivers our students and advisors the APAS report). DARS has become outdated and this project is an opportunity to improve the student-facing degree audit as well as business processes for DARS users.

What does the system do?
  • Holds transfer credit rules.
  • Shows students how their transfer credits map to our degree programs.
  • Holds undergraduate degree requirements and sub-requirements.
  • Shows students and advisors how completed credits meet degree requirements.
  • Allows staff to make exceptions to degree requirements.
What’s the big picture timeline?
  • July 2018-July 2019: Technical implementation with the vendor
  • July 2019-July 2020: Update configurations and integrations to reap business benefits
Staff have worked on preliminary items such as the project charter, planning, governance, discovery, and staffing, but the project does not begin until July. You can learn more about the project at asr.umn.edu/uachieve.
