Academic Advisors
You can find out who your assigned academic advisor is by accessing SIS+ or by calling your departmental office (Health and Exercise Sciences @831-2252, Medical Technology @ 821-2849, Nursing @ 831-2193, Nutrition and Dietetics @831-8729).
Academic Honesty
As a University student, you are expected to exercise integrity when
completing quizzes, examinations, class assignments, research, papers, and projects.
Communication Condition
A faculty member or instructor can issue a communication condition to any student with unsatisfactory writing skills. It is removed by successfully completing a non-credit, individualized corrective program through the  University Writing Center.
Course/Credit Overloads
You must obtain permission from your advisor and the Assistant Dean (343 McDowell Hall) to register for an increased credit load (18 or more credits) provided you have a cumulative index of 2.5 and an index of 3.0 for the preceding semester.  Additional fees must be paid when registering for more than 17 credits.
Course Substitutions
If you feel it is appropriate to substitute a different course for a required course in your academic program, consult your academic advisor. Your advisor may initiate the course substitution process if it is warranted and does not jeopardize the integrity of your program.
Declaring Majors and Minors
In order to declare a new major/minor, contact the academic department that houses the major/minor you are interested in to discuss any requirements, applications and/or deadline dates. If approved, complete the Change of Major/Minor form available in the Student Services Building, 30 Lovett Avenue, or an electronic change of major form in the SIS+ Personal Access System.
FERPA
FERPA stands for the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 and "grants certain rights, privileges and protections to students concerning educational records maintained by the University".  See the UD Policy and Procedures Manual to see how this law affects you.
Incomplete Grades
An Incomplete (I) grade must be removed no later than the end of the first 2 weeks of the major semester  following the course in question.
Pass/Fail Option
You may choose to take one elective course on a pass/fail basis each term.  A letter grade is not given; the student either passes or fails. Credits earned in this way count only as electives, not as fulfilling specific requirements. The total number of credits taken on a pass/fail basis may not exceed 24 in the baccalaureate degree program excluding courses that are graded  pass/fail only. A failing grade under the pass/fail option will be counted in the cumulative index.
Repeating a Course
Credits may be counted only once toward a degree. In other words, if you repeat a course to improve a passing grade, credits may not be counted a second time towards the minimum total credit hours required.
Transferring Courses from other institutions
If you wish to receive credit for work that will be taken at another
accredited institution you must complete a Transfer Credit Post Admission form available in the Dean's Office or the Student Service Building. Departmental  and Assistant Dean signatures are required. The grades for transfer work will not be included in the student's UD cumulative index even though a minimum of C- is required.
