DARS Planner Quick Start
Get started, you can build a four-year plan in minutes!
Step 1: From myHumboldt, click on View Degree Audit & Plan in Academics Quick Links.
Create a Plan
Click on the Plans tab in the top toolbar.
Click on the Create a New Plan tab.
Select your program from the dropdown.
Enter the following:
- a plan name
- a starting term
- a starting year
- the number of years to graduation
Click the Add Plan button.
Build your plan
You should now be in Plan Builder. This is where you will add courses to your new plan. The default will have an audit on the left and the plan on the right. Your view may be different depending on your device.
You can add courses manually using the Add Course button or Drag & Drop.
Manually: Click the Add Courses button.
Enter the following in the Add Course window.
- the Department Abbreviation (course prefix).
- the Course Number.
Drag & Drop: Add courses by dragging them from the Audit (left side) onto the term title (right side).
- “Grab” the course with your mouse
- Drag it to the intended term (The term will change color when you are in the “drop” zone)
- Check that the course shows up in term list
Click on the "check" button often. The check does two things:
- validates your plan and updates DARS Audit to include planned courses, and
- checks the plan for issues, such as prerequisites.
Hint: You will see a warning icon if you do not meet prerequisites and/or if the course is not typically offered that semester.
Click on the warning icon to review issues.
Click on a "star" to mark a plan as preferred.
