DSAS - Departmental Student Award System

General Information

DSAS allows departments to pay award to students online. This system replaces the paper Form 26 and can process payments such as Stipends, Fee Awards or Training Grants.

The Student Award System will interface automatically with the Financial Aid Office system (SAMS) and CARS. Awards made to Graduate students will interface with the Graduate Division System (GradLink). Payments made through this system can be accessed on BearFacts and on BAIRS reports.
 

Who uses the system and when?

Any staff member who is responsible for making non-payroll payments to students would use this system.
 

Access

Employees sign up on line at sara.berkeley.edu, where they log in using their Cal Net ID. One can request access for oneself or one's employee.
 

Training

All users (both preparers and reviewers) will be required to receive training prior to using the DSAS system. 

• Go to blu.berkeley.edu, click on the UC Learning Center, and search for DSAS.
