+ Read MoreHere is most of the info you'll need in one spot so you can check it at your leisure and to prepare you for a more leisurely matriculation process than some of your friends may experience at other colleges.
First and foremost, make sure you know how to log into your new UD email address! Email is the primary mode of communication for your summer paperwork, and UD will be corresponding with you via your new @udallas.edu email address. Please get in the habit of checking that regularly! (You should have received an email soon after your deposit with login information. Look for a message with the subject line Your personal UD email.)
The housing process (which includes selecting a roommate) will be completed through
our eRezLife portal, which you will find in your UD Banner Web page. (This is just a sample of what you'll see on Banner). eRez lets you fill out
a roommate profile, build a roommate group and potentially choose a roommate. You'll
also find your housing contract in eRez. You can always email studentaffairs@udallas.
UD - eRezLife Campus Housing Program
If you are a local commuting student, you will fill out the commuter form in eRezLife.
You can login to your UD Status portal and click on the Student Affairs link to see what forms you will need to fill out.
I encourage you to get started on your health form (this requires a doctor’s appointment and is due July 1). If you have questions about
how to complete the health form, I encourage you to reach out to our health clinic
at udhealthclinic@udallas.edu
Your student ID number is the 900 number you have received in multiple emails. Keep this number handy (or memorize it!) for ease of completing your forms this summer.
For your first semester only, you will not register for your classes until orientation. Instead, a course selection survey will be sent to you by Dr. Andrews via email in mid-June or early July. Please respond to this survey with alacrity so that our academic dean can create a first semester course schedule for you. This survey will ask you about your intended major (although it’s totally okay to be “undecided!”), proficiency in certain subjects, potential credit from dual credit classes and AP exams, preferred professors, class interests, and more. With this information, you will be scheduled for a course load that fits your intended major (if decided) and enrolls you in the proper Core curriculum courses. You will get a preliminary schedule in late July/early August. When you arrive at orientation, you will have your "final" schedule in your move-in packet and your academic advisor's name. You will have the chance to meet with your advisor during orientation, and then, you will be able to tweak your schedule before classes begin.
After you have graduated from high school (Congrats!), make sure to have your final high school transcript sent to UD. This needs to have a date of graduation and an official signature, as
well as your final cumulative GPA. (Please know that we will NOT use your final gpa
to reevaluate your merit scholarship).
If you have taken dual credit while in high school, you can have your official transcripts sent from the awarding
institution's registrar's office to UD. The University's mailing address is listed
in the signature of this message. Click here for a general overview of which courses are likely or not likely to transfer in for
UD CORE credit. Our Transfer Counselor, German Lopez, handles dual credit evaluations in conjunction with the Dean's Office. He will be
sending an email out tomorrow with more detailed information on dual credit evaluations
and how to receive them - please keep an eye out for his correspondence if you took
dual credit classes in high school and are wondering how they will transfer to UD.
If you took an AP/IB exam, make sure you have your scores sent to UD as well. Here’s information on how to send scores, and here’s information on what credit you could earn with your scores.
Your first bill will be sent to you in early-June, with payment arrangements due by August 1. To make sure that the charges on your first bill are correct, please make sure to complete the following. You can read all about setting up a five, four, or three month payment plan via our Student Account Services page.
Still looking for more scholarships?
Be sure to save the date for Freshman Move-In Day! All freshmen will move into their residence halls in the morning on Friday, August 18th. Orientation will run from Friday, August 18th to Tuesday, August 22nd. The Office of Student Affairs will send you a detailed orientation schedule on July 17th.
Need merch? Check out the UD Bookstore. Need books? Yes, of course you will. And you
may worry that since you won't get your schedule until August you won't have time
before class starts. But you will. And since so many of our Core classes are classics,
it will not be hard to find new and used books to rent or to buy.
When you receive information about signing up for something called Bank Mobile, it's not a scam. It is the resource we use to provide students refunds should a refund be necessary. It's free and safe.
