New Data: Add DARs data

Advisors in our unit request inclusion of the catalog year which designates the requirements applied to a student.  Based on conversation with our advising team, it sounds like DARS 2.0 allows an advisor to specify (when an advisor is changing a student's catalog year) whether the catalog year change is to apply to major, minor, college, or all requirements.  For this reason, it would be necessary to include both the catalog year and the type of requirements under that catalog year.

Biological Sciences would likely be able to provide a number of examples of students with a catalog year for major requirements that differs from their cohort term/application term code/admit term.

Note, in DARS 2.0 reports, there is a data point titled "Catalog Year," which is, in fact, the student's admit term/year, and is not reflective of the actual year of the curriculum/catalog year the student's degree audit is displaying/reflecting/calculating.  Happy to provide examples if this comment is unclear.

Update:  Per our advising staff, "Catalog Year," is the student's admit term/year UNLESS the student's entire catalog is changed.  Uachieve allows changing the catalog year for the major, minor, college, or university requirements independent of each other and without changing the student's entire catalog year.  These independent actions do not appear to update the Catalog Year, but changing the entire catalog does.

Advising unit staff also request that data points related to "exceptions" applied to student audits be available, including, but not limited to:  date of entry (and/or term), type of exception, notes, department entering the exception (biology, dars staff, etc.).  This information is used to track workload for advising staff and in analysis for policy or procedural changes (for example, curriculum change impacts).

Hello - We've started gathering requirements for bringing DARs / uAchieve data into the Student Activity Hub.
