Suggestions For Success

We want your academic career to be a success, so here are some tips to get you started:

  • Your faculty advisors are here to help you with decision-making in issues such as choice of major and/or minor academic programs, course selection and sequencing, graduation requirements and career questions. Make good use of this relationship and meet with your advisor on a regular basis, especially before registration periods.
  • Degree requirements can be found on the Degree Audit, which is available in UDSIS. It's important to check your Degree Audit often.
  • Always register at your appointed time in April and November. Do not delay, or you will have difficulty scheduling needed classes.
  • Pay attention to prerequisites, which are listed on the UD Catalog.
  • You are responsible for informing your parents/family of your activities if you so desire. We are not permitted to discuss your situation with them due to the Buckley Amendment, unless you give your written or verbal permission in advance.
  • When in doubt about issues related to academics, career, or graduation, ask your advisor.
  • Read your email once or twice a day.
