DARS details all of the requirements that must be completed to finish a degree at Indiana State University. You can access your DARS under the student tab in your Portal account.
Get more details about how to access and read your DARS here: http://www.indstate.edu/express/dars.htm

close
What
if I have difficulty getting in touch with my advisor?
- Advisors can be contacted in multiple ways, such as via email,
phone, or visiting their office

priority registration, so you may not be able to get an immediate
appointment.
- If your advisor does not respond to your attempts at contact, get in
touch with the departmental office for your major. For example, this
office might be a Student Services Office in your College (e.g., the
College of Business) or it might be a Departmental Chairperson in your
major (e.g., the Psychology Department). Contact information for these
offices is available on the web.
