Meet with financial aid and business offices to discuss scholarships, loans and payment plan options.
Meet with the campus nurse to discuss any health requirements.
Take your student ID picture, and receive your campus mailbox and email address.
Receive your class schedule, and meet with an advisor to learn more about how your class schedule will fit with your four-year plan of study.

Things to know:

A $200 enrollment confirmation is due the day of registration if you haven’t already paid.
If you are a transfer student, have previous college credits, or dual credits, we’ll need to have your official transcripts sent to DWU two weeks before you come to campus so that we can evaluate them and be able to advise you well.

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