Download the helpful DWU Admissions Checklist to make sure you are completing all required tasks.
If you are a transfer student or have previous college or dual credits, your official transcripts must be sent to DWU two weeks before Registration Day so they can be evaluated in time for advising.

New students must apply for admission and receive official notification of acceptance to Dakota Wesleyan University before signing up for a registration day. All new students must register for fall semester classes before the start of the semester.
