Start Planning for Fall Registration

Scott on

Fall Registration opens April 17, 2023. Check your UDSIS Enrollment Date for when your registration window opens for Fall Semester registration. Prior to that date, be sure you do the following:

  • Meet with your Assigned Advisor to discuss fall course options.
  • Review the Course Search to select courses and sections that are available
  • Build a schedule with your selected courses and sections so that you are ready to register when your Enrollment Date opens
  • Be sure you have alternate courses in the event a course becomes full before you can register
  • Check that you have no Registration Holds in UDSIS; remedy any holds you may have prior to your Enrollment Date.

Fall Registration is coming soon- Check in with your Academic Advisor!

Fall registration is right around the corner, beginning on April 17! As a University of Delaware Blue Hen, your academic advisor is among your most important champions. Watch this video to learn what support you can expect from them and how you can make the most of your time together. Then, schedule an appointment with your advisor through Blue Hen Success!

Last Change to Add or Drop courses

Scott on

This Friday, February 17, 2023 is the last day to register or add courses. After this date, tuition and a $25 processing fee will be charged for change of registration. After February 17, students withdrawing from courses will receive a grade of “W” on the permanent record.

If you are considering dropping a class from your spring schedule, please follow these guidelines:

  • If you are already having difficulty in any course, you may be able to find an alternative. However, students should be cautious about adding a course this late in the semester because several courses have met up to 4 times, and assignments may be due soon. Courses should not be added at this point without contacting the instructor first.
  • If there is a hold placed on your records by Student Financial Services (you can see this on your UDSIS Student Center page), you must clear this up before you can add a course to your schedule. Please contact Student Financial Services at (302) 831-2126 if you’re in this circumstance.

If you have any questions or concerns about your schedule, please contact your campus academic advisor(s).
