General Admission Regulations

General Admission Regulations 

The following admission regulations are followed:

1. Applications for admission will be accepted until the announced deadline, which must normally be 2 weeks prior to the beginning of the semester. Applicants will be informed about the admission decision including their eligibility for transfer credits, or the date for any required placement tests, if applicable, within a week from application date.

2. Admission decisions of students into UD are normally valid for only one semester. Students who fail to register will lose their admission status and must resubmit their application as a new applicant.

3. If the student requests to postpone his admission for the following semester on reasonable grounds, the student will not have to repay the non-refundable registration fees.  

4. Applicants should make sure that they have all required documents submitted to  finalize their admission  before course registration begins. 

5. The names of UD students on all university documents are spelled in English exactly as they appear on their passports or identity cards. If the name on a passport or an identity card does not appear in English, it will be spelled according to the applicant’s preference.

6. Applicants, who were denied admission to UD, may file a petition for admission on a conditional basis. These applicants will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis for approval by the VPAA. 

7. Students granted conditional admission will be considered At-Risk, and will accordingly be closely monitored by their assigned faculty advisor. 

8. A student status report for conditionally admitted students will be issued at the end of each semester and a hard copy will be archived in the student’s file.

9. Admissions standards for various undergraduate programs are normally assessed every 3 years as part of continuous improvement and enrollment planning, except when need arises.
