General Registration Facts

Students are officially registered for courses only when they have complied with all of the procedures applying to registration, including full payment of tuition and fees, and validation of student ID

For students who register by mail, tuition and applicable fees are payable in full on the due date specified on the bill received from Student Accounts. For students who register on-site, tuition and applicable fees are payable at the time of registration.

Delaware State University regularly mails bills to students, but cannot assume responsibility for their receiving bills. If students do not receive bills on or before the beginning of the semester, it is the student's responsibility to contact the Office of Student Accounts at (302) 857-6240 to obtain information relative to their bill or go online to Student Services to view their bill.

Pre-Registration

All students returning to Delaware State University following the current semester of residence should pre-register during the period prescribed in the Academic Calendar. Returning students who do not pre-register prior to on-site registration will be assessed a $30.00 failure to pre-register fee. An additional $30.00 will be assessed if students register during the late registration period.

Top

On-Site Registration

Each year one week prior to the start of classes for the fall and spring semesters, Delaware State University gives non-enrolled students an opportunity to register in person. During this three day period, new students who did not enroll during one of the Summer New Student Orientation sessions and returning students who did not register prior to this period are advised by their academic departments' designees and permitted to register. All billing issues must be handled during this period to avoid being deleted from courses on the registration purge date.

Top

Late Registration

Any student who did not pre-register or participate in on-site registration may register during the Late Registration Period. Late Registration starts January 21, 2003 and ends February 4, 2003. The late registration fee is an additional $30.00.

Top

Drop/Add

To drop or add a course, students may obtain approval from their advisor or department chair and go online and adjust their schedule or obtain a DROP/ADD form from the department chair. The form is to be turned in to the academic department through the late registration period and to the Registrar's Office thereafter, bearing the required signatures. Students may drop or add courses as indicated on the Academic Calendar. A drop fee of $10.00 per course will be assessed after late registration. Students who DROP courses which result in a credit on their student account must request a refund through the Office of Student Accounts. Students requesting to drop or add classes after the last day to drop or add courses must obtain the signature of their academic dean as well as their instructor and advisor/chair.

Web Registration & Drop / Add

It is required that all degree seeking students consult with an advisor prior to registering or making changes to their existing schedules. Students may have their academic departments continue to enter their registration and schedule changes (drop/adds) or they may register and make schedule adjustments on-line. To obtain your "alternate pin" for registering on-line, see your academic advisor after building your course schedule on the pre-printed Schedule Request Form in the DSU Course Schedule and Registration Guide. To register online visit the University's Student Services web site or review the Registration Information.

Official Withdrawal

To officially withdraw from all courses, students must complete a Withdrawal Form in the Counseling Office. The office is located in the Education and Humanities Building, room 123.

Course Changes After Publication

Every effort is made to have course information accurate at the time of publication of the DSU Spring 2003 Semester Course Schedule and Registration Guide, however, departments may need to make changes to their courses after publication. Students are advised to consult the department or the Student Services web pages for changes.

The University reserves the right to cancel courses due to insufficient enrollment and other reasons.
