How can I register online? [back to the top]

To register online, you must first meet with your academic advisor to have the advising hold lifted from your record. Once you have met with your advisor and discussed which courses you will take, you may register by logging onto DSConnect and selecting "Add/Drop Classes" from the Quick Links. Students who have learning support requirements may not register or modify their schedules online. They must contact their advisors or submit a Schedule Adjustment Form to the Office of Enrollment Services.

Who is my advisor?  [back to the top]
You can find out who your advisor is by logging onto DSConnnect, click on "student menu", then select "student records", and finally "view student information". Your advisor is listed next to where it says "Primary Advisor". If your advisor is the Academic Advising Center, please call 272-4458 to make an appointment.

How do I change my major?  [back to the top]

To change your major complete the Change of Status Form, and turn it in to the Office of Enrollment Services.

How do I add a course?  [back to the top]

You may add courses by completing and turning in a Schedule Adjustment Form to the Office of Enrollment Services no later than the first three days after the start of the term.

How do I drop a course?  [back to the top]

You may drop courses by completing and turning in a Schedule Adjustment Form to the Office of Enrollment Services no later than the published drop date for the semester. If you are receiving financial aid you should check with the Office of Student Financial Aid before dropping courses to determine how your aid might be affected.

Will dropping or withdrawing effect my GPA?  [back to the top]

Dropping a course or withdrawing from all of your courses prior to the last day to drop classes does not affect your GPA. You will receive a “W” for these courses, and “W”’s are not included when calculating your GPA. However, if you are receiving financial aid, it is a good idea to check with the Office of Student Financial Aid before dropping or withdrawing to determine how your aid might be affected.

Will my courses transfer?  [back to the top]

The institution which you transfer to will determine whether or not the courses you have taken previously will transfer. You should contact the Admissions Office at the school(s) you are interested to discuss transferring credits.
