Early Spring Reminders

Attention: DPCR Alumni College Students

Bill Payment, Medical Forms
Student fees and payment plans must be set by certain deadlines in order to avoid late fees. Students who fail to clear fees by the first week of classes may have their classes canceled. If you are unsure about the clearance of your fees or financial aid arrangements, contact your school's One Stop office or Bursar/Financial Aid office ASAP.

Course Schedules
Most students have been in classes for a couple of weeks or more. If you are not satisfied with your course registration, please schedule to meet with your academic advisor right away. Deadlines to make changes are fast approaching!

Know Your University and Academic Calendar
Each university posts important dates and deadlines such as: Course Drop/Withdraw, Force Adds, Housing Contract Cancellation Date, Spring Break Dates and Final Exam Dates. It’s imperative to note this information so that you can properly plan your semester.

Use Your University Resources
  • Don’t wait to access university and department resources. 
  • If you need tutoring sign-up early.
  • Be sure to attend workshops sponsored by your institution's learning center.
  • Mark your calendar for spring career and internship fairs.
  • Join a club or organization: research shows engaged students are more successful in college!
