  • Your Degree Audit Report (DARS) displays your completed coursework at Anoka-Ramsey, along with any transfer credits that have been officially evaluated by the Records Office.

  • Many students start at Anoka-Ramsey with the goal of completing their general education coursework and then transferring to a college or university to earn their bachelor’s degree. While preparing to transfer can be overwhelming and complex, there are many resources available to help you plan effectively. Remember, it’s never too early to start planning for your transfer! Without proper planning, you might face issues like non-transferable credits, excess credits, or delays in completing your bachelor’s degree.

    To assist with your transfer preparation, visit our Transfer From page for valuable tools and resources. We also highly recommend scheduling a transfer planning appointment with your assigned Academic Advisor.
